PM, hi again,

Glad that nailed it for you. I did notice that the sceeen was a bit big too. All you can do there is adjust your monitor. Some monitors can 'remember' that they have to switch to a certain set of saved settings when running in a specific mode.

BTW, did you try/have any success installing and running King's Quest 5?

Well, sadly, KQ6 is still not working. I was able to install KQ5, but it keeps telling me to insert CD1 which is already mounted. On the plus side, QFG4 works beautifuly :-)

PM, hi again,

In what way is KQ6 not working? Can you install it? I'm quite sure the install process I recommended for QFG4 ought to work there. You just need to browse the CD in Windows Explorer to figure out where the DOS install for it is located.

For KQ5, you might want to try copying all the files from the CD to your hard drive, and running it from there. Just adjust all the game-related config files to point to C: instead of D:

Cheers,

Hi Metzomagic,
I already have copied all of the files into my hard drive. I ripped each cd (There are 3 KQ CD's) into an ISO and mounted the instal CD using Alcohol 120% onto a virtual drive. I map that virtual drive as my D drive in DosBox. This has worked for every game so far. I AM able to install the game from windows, and it installs the game into a directory. It is unable to install 3 files, although I cant remember offhand which files they are. However, hitting "OK" progresses the isntalation. WHen I try to access that directory from DSOBOX to play the game, absolutely nothing happens. This occurs with 5 and 6. On the plus side, I am able to play 1-4 perfectly.
I thought ti issue might be that the game's data is on the 2nd CD, so I ripped that, mounted it, and tried to access the game that way....no dice. Of course, while I loev the first 4 (well, 5 if you count the VGA ermake of the first game) games in the KQ series, 5 and especially 6 are my favorite games, probably beuase 6 was the first ever CD rom I bought. ANyway, I appreciate the help you'ev given me so far, it's helped to make most of my games work.

Update: Well, still no luck getting Kings Quest 5 or 6 working. I was able to getmy hands on the original DOS version (No voices)n and I've been playing that. The game si just as fun, although I sure do miss teh repetitive "Alexander pulls out his magic map" :-)
Hopefully, with the March release date of teh Kings Quest Compilation, there will be a voice version that works (although I'm not holding my breath). Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it.
