I have a problem at the chessboard level, I can't go to the storybook for some reason: the game crashes. Has anyone else got this problem?

Yes. Don't know why though. Are there any patches for this game?

It could be a memory issue that is causing this crash - you could try increasing the memory in Dosbox (or ScummVm, if you're using that).

Start => all => dosbox => dosbox.conf
It should open in notepad or something.

Search for the line, in the second section, that says: "memsize=[xxx]"
If this is set less than 32 or 64, raise it and see if that helps.

You can also try here:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000787.htm

It has a few fix suggestions and a link to help you start searching for the right patch.
I'll have a hunt for a patch, as there probably is one, but this should keep you busy in the meantime.
[ed]
It looks like you may be able to get a patch from Activision, though I haven't searched too deep as it's a flash site and my laptop is still chewing away at the homepage...

Of course, the other fix for this problem is "don't use the storybook when on the chessboard level".

A: This can happen in various cases, like your host keyboard layout does not have a matching DOS layout representation (or it was not correctly detected), or the key mapping is wrong.
Some possible fixes:
1. Use / instead, or ALT-58 for : and ALT-92 for \.
2. Change the DOS keyboard layout (see Section 7: Keyboard Layout).
3. Add the commands you want to execute to the [autoexec]-section of the DOSBox configuration file.
4. Open the DOSBox configuration file and change the usescancodes entry.
5. Switch the keyboard layout of your operating system.

Note that if the host layout can not be identified, or keyboardlayout is set to none in the DOSBox configuration file, the standard US layout is used. In this configuration try the keys around "enter" for the key \ (backslash), and for the key : (colon) use shift and the keys between "enter" and "l".

@bob-satan
No, I don't know how to create one, could you help me? And by the way, where do I download SCUMMvm and how do I select that config?

@Luchsen

I will try that, maybe i'll be able to play.



Thank you guys. Sorry not to reply earlier, but have been a bit busy with other things
