It looks like the updater did not complete. Open the VERSION file on your CD in Notepad and post the contents here.

2.00b

[Collector]

It should have worked, then. Completely uninstall the game and do a clean reinstall. If that does work, I'll have to compile a build for you to log what is going wrong.

[Babycakes]

Ok i'll try that ..=)

Looks like some kind of sampler CD. Unfortunately, most of the DOS files have been stripped out and since you have 64-bit Windows, you will not be able to run the Windows version. The best that I can suggest is to get another copy. You can buy the GOG version, or look for the 2006 King's Quest Collection on Amazon. If you get this one, be sure to apply the DOSBox patch. You can also look on eBay.

Hmmmmm, ok thank u for your help=)

[Collector]

No problem.
