Hey guys,

I've been trying to get the ol' 1994 version of King's Quest VII on my laptop that has Windows Vista. I tried doing the DOSBox version1.5 I think...I'm kinda confused. It installed fine but whenever I try to run it, it starts to load and then flashes back to my desktop. I set the compatibility to Windows 95, and 256 bit color and that didn't work so I'm stumped. I miss playing this game. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

What is the version number of the game?

Ummmm...On the floppy disk it says it's version 1.1. You can play it on Windows 3.1 or higher. Is that right? I don't really know where to look.

Floppy? If so there is no installer for it. Find a copy of the 2006 King's Quest collection and apply the DOSBox patch.

It comes with a floppy disk and a CD. You can either use DOS or Windows 3.1 for it so I guess it was in between DOS and Windows days. So I do have a CD so that's a start.

What version is the CD?

I looked all over the CD and box and can't find anything about a version. Where would I look for it?

Look for a file on the CD named "version". Open it in Notepad. I only have installers for versions 1.4, 1.51 and 2. I can make a patch/installer for any version, but I need to have copies of the files from the version to be patched to do it.
