Post by **The.Wanderer** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 5:04 pm

Hi, I used a patch installer of Sierra to run KQ6 in windows xp, I manage to play anything fine in the without movie support mode but there's no music, the voices and sound effects works fine but the music doesn't, what can I do to make it work?

With Friendly Regards!

If you installed the floppy version, there is no speech.

No, I didn't, I still have the original Cd of King's Quest which came with my computer, a 486 (and I still have it too

) I installed the Windows version with my cd, the speech's and sound effects are reallt fine, but music doesn't work, by the way, during the installation, I noticed that some files wasn't able to be writed in the hd, this will influciate in something?

Thanks for the advice and for the time

If you used the installer from this site it should work, but it must be able to copy the files to the hard drive. The speech is in the big RESOURCE.AUD file. if this file is missing from the installation folder you will have no speech. If there are other files that are missing you may have other issues. Try copying all of the files on the CD to your hard drive and then burn it to a new CD.

Thanks for the advice, I has installed the vdms program and game with the patch of this site in a PC with Windows XP Service Pack2 with my cd and everything runs all right but when I tried the same thing in a PC with Windows XP Pack 3 the music doesn't run, the cursor is all right, the voices are ok, the sound effects works perfectly but the music doesn't run, what can I do now?

PS: The CD that I used in both was my original CD

Can you hear MIDIs in Media Player? You can find a MIDI file in your Windows\Media folder.

Thank You Collector, I've checked the folder and put the midi files to run with Windows Media Player and Now I can hear music again

Really thanks for your Support
