I'm trying to load my old game 'Circle of Blood' onto my computer. The setup keeps telling me that there's insufficient hard drive. I know I have tons of hard drive left. Why is it doing this and is there a way around this??? Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks
Pat Gerrard

You probably have more hard drive space than this 14 year old game is able to detect. You can try playing it in DOSBox or Virtual PC

Or if you want to play it in your native OS, you could try using the Philip utility, which temporarily fills your hard drive enough to allow the game to install. Get Philip ***here***.

If you have XP, there are tips for installing it ***here***.

Thanks Jenny,
I started to answer this one and couldn't remember the file, (Phillip)that you had told me to use years ago. I did remember that I had told XP to install in compatibility mode and it did. Must have been some eight years ago. I now have it on a disk that plays on xp. I have also bought some of these games from GOG so I didn't have to refigure my computers.
You all are so great here and I know we forget to say thank you. So thank you. I learn and relearn each day as I read glitches every day.
