Your problem description is insufficient for us to provide a proper answer.

Please answer the following questions:
1. What operating system do you have?
2. Did you try using VDMSound or DosBox to run the game?
3. What exact steps did you follow when trying to run the game?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Do you have a "Virus check" option enabled in your BIOS? See if the game works with that disabled.

sorry for late reply,i can't enter bios ,i hit f1,f2...f12 after startup but no use.Anyway i don't think this is the problem.I'll play it when i have my Pentium fixed.Thanks anyway.

Try hitting Delete during the memory check, that's the one used for most old machines.

I have read through everything on here dealing with sound, so I am sorry this question has repeated itself again! I have windows XP and dowloaded Dosbox. I went through the tutorial and did what it asked as far as changing to

mount C C:/DOS/CDrive
mount D D:/ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

Then everything was downloaded and saved under cdrive/flash. When I type install it said that it was and illegal command. Config says

use -writeconfig filename to write the current config
use -writelang gilename to write the current language strings.

Then the setup command is also illegal. So I went ahead and started the game. It works! But no sound. I went through the forum and seen that I should dowload SBPCI I copied everything into cdrive under flash and copied and pasted config and autoexec from SBCI to yhe cdrive folder under flash. I also went to microsoft with a link available under one of the forums and then I went back into wordpad and wrote config.nt and autoexec.nt for the game itself. I never deleted the others. Also why is it at the beginning in french. All my options to start the game and check out the sound are in french. After messing with those for a while I turned the music on (what it says when you press escape during game play) But it says the sound effects were off. Maybe if I messed with those a little longer it would work? All files were extracted after I added the others for sound and I restarted my computer. I have been at this for 4 hours, so please help!

Love the game, but is there any way to cheat? I know the old official game had cheats, but for this version...? Anything?

LOL. Don't use a walkthrough that is going to tell you more than you want to know. I strongly recommend the following site for those game playing times when you feel like inventing new words.

So how exactly do you run again?

I am quite far into the game and only managed to get across the bridge by jumping (JUST MADE IT!) but now i cannot figure out how to run.

Ive tryed tapping the up arrow key then holding it, tapping it continuously, everything! I cant seem to find a way to get this damn Carnby guy to run!

I managed to jump my way past the worm thing at first and kill the little monster, but as soon as i see the worm face to face at the other end of the tunnel it kills me. Am i not supposed to do this and go to where the worm originally was when i entered the cave?

Thanks in advance! I remember having nightmares as a kid when my cousin would bring his old 3DO over and make us play the game.

Tapping twice and then holding the arrow key worked for me. I had to slow the game down to get it to work, though. Try reducing the cycles in DOSBox. It would often take more than one try. I feel your pain. :tai:

SPOILER ALERT

I remember the giant worm scene well.
After you kill the furball backtrack and go into the cave opening where the worm was the first encounter.

Unfortunately the tunnel the worm is originally occupying leads to a cellar with an invincible rat! According to most guides i am supposed to end up on a wooden dock of some sort? I tried going through the rat wine cellar and up the stairs and they appear to collapse or something. This part is perticularily tough because i still am not able to run!
