I feel like I am in such a panic to play this game that I keep forgetting to use common sense when asking questions.

Yeah, but, it's already unchecked from read-only and and still not saving. Most peculiar.

Oh, fascinating. Windows isn't allowing me to "uncheck" the read-only option. It process the request as I hit apply and modifies the files inside the directory, but not host-directory itself.

OK, I just dug up my old copy of the game (it's not an ISO image but an original disk - published by white label, so there might be some differences).

All I had to do was simple:

When in DOSBox I went to D: and ran the HDINSTAL
Then I went to the path the installation program made C:\vie\rites and started the RITES.EXE

Works like a charm.

I just decided to do a fresh install. Good decision.

I wiped the directory and reinstalled. Everything works well now.


I appreciate all your help and sorry to be too much of a newbie pest.

I hope to contribute to this site in every way I can.

Don't worry, you were learning to use something, made a mistake and asked for assistance. That's what the forum support is for.

This is turning out to be intently irritating.

The saved-game feature worked after I freshly installed the game. I closed the game and DOSBox because I had to go on an errand and I returned to my computer afterwards, loaded the game and my saved games weren't found.

I decided to test the saved game feature again and it reverted to that message alluding to "Insufficient space or read-only drive" and the game failed to save.

I don't have the damndest idea what it is now.

The above was my post, by the way.

My saving issue is still really unresolved. I've tried a variety of different things. Could it still be a mounting issue?

Blargh!
