Alright! I will try that later if my game crashes at some point. If you want me to translate the installer, just post the lines you want translated here.
Thanks a lot for all your help!!!

Thanks. There's something quite mysterious happening here. I've redone a third complete reinstall, and I can now access the game menu without even using the new conf.exe file. Pretty weird if you ask me! However, I can't watch the intro ("unable to open movie file" error) and the program s...

Oh, I just noticed you had posted this. I was just checking my PMs. Thanks a lot, I will give it a try and tell you if it works. [Edit] It's not working. The game shuts down on its own again, but differently: the crown-shaped cursor doesn't even appear. I noticed that the DOCS and PATCHES folder are...

Here =). I tried replacing the KQ7 drivers with the drivers found in the PATCH folder of the CD, but it didn't change a thing. Maybe they're the same files anyway, I have no idea.

Sorry for triple posting, but I got it working!!! (I think) I replaced the buggy line with "patchDir=.\PATCHES" and it seems to be working. I might show up again if it crashes later on ;). Thanks a lot for your help, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out without you! [Edit] Dammit! It...

I removed everything inside RESOURCE.CFG in my KQ7 folder except videodrv, sounddrv and audiodrv and the game ran! However, the sound is extremely choppy and the game crashed after clicking on Intro. That's a start, though. [Edit] I put back the rest inside resource.cfg excluding patchDir=.\;.\PATCH...

It's on my CD-ROM and it's not in my KQ7 folder anymore since I've reinstalled it. Anyhow, it contains: ADL.DRV, DACBLAST.DRV, HELPKQ7.txt, KQ7CD.BAT, RESOURCE.CFG, SIERRA.EXE and VESA.DRV.

Alright, I'll give this a try! [Edit] Nope, still the same... Any other file I could copy?

Interesting =).

Oh, I've found something that might be very helpful. I decreased the CPU speed to 1000 cycles, and noticed an error message was popping up and disappearing very fast. Here's what it states: We're sorry, you have encountered an internal game error. Please restart your game and restore a saved game. I...

I actually copied the whole content of the CD to my KQ7 folder right after you said there were some missing files, and it's still not working... I hope you have other solutions in mind because I don't! Thanks a lot!

Sure. It's not a copied CD by the way. It's my old original, so I assume all the files should be there. 1994-11-25 21:59 142 304 0.CHK 1994-12-14 06:17 2 086 140 ALTRES.000 1994-12-14 06:17 1 186 ALTRES.MAP 1994-12-14 06:17 1 186 ALTRES.MDT 1996-11-05 12:12 <REP> AVI 1994-11-14 10:55 36 467 BOOTDISK...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! *Btw I obviously meant "shouldn't crash" in the above post. Here's what my KQ7 folder contains: AVI (folder) Docs (folder) PATCHES (folder) 0.CHK 1_51.ver ADL.DRV Conf.exe DACBLAST.DRV DACMSSYS.DRV DACPRO.DRV DACPRO16.DRV DACPRO8.DRV DiagnosticTool.exe di...

Hi. I'm trying to run my old KQ7 game. I've installed DOSBox in "Program Files (x86)" and ran this website's KQ7 installation from my CD-ROM which went smoothly. However, whenever I try to run the game, it shuts down on its own right after the crown-shaped cursor appears (and the screen is...
