Props to you for posting it though, Aleksi!
Richard, you might have to look around a bit to find the right file since Aleksi says he's not positive that was the right one. Did you open it with Wordpad?

I guess I'll wait to order till it gets fixed after reading the problems here. Things to be aware of: 1. The GOG version works fine on most computers. 2. kjos has had malware infections that could have damaged files and past damage could be affecting whether the game works. Cleaning out virus and other malware does not automatically restore damaged files. Damaged files could also be affecting whether the game can update on Steam. These may not be files that are used very often, so you rarely see the damage in everyday use of the computer and don't realize it is there.

I've run virus checks all the time. Is there a good virus scanner to repair damaged files. Richard

I am from Germany and I've got the same problem. When i start the game the message "an unknown error has occurred". Game plays the introduction sound but when I try to open the window stops working with the normal windows 7 error message. I am really disappointed now. It started when you updated the game. Please fix it fast, I am recording your game and would be very mad when I've to stop recording now. Germany's watching you . Kind regards

You MUST have sound with this game - it's half the experience!

Are these download versions using DosBox? Not that I can tell. I'm not sure how you got it working in DOSBox, since it isn't for DOS or Windows 3.1. It may be possible to get Windows 95 working in DOSbox, but would probably be trouble with Windows 95's memory leak. I played the GOG version of Sanitarium in Windows 8.1. No major problems, but I do seem to remember that it turned down my sound volume in Windows when I installed it (not just volume in the game, but for the whole computer).

If that's the case, then I'm probably mistaken - I do recall running it under several emulators however. None of them were perfect, but I did manage to finish the game. I'll hunt up my CD and see what I can find -

Win9x is not supported in DOSBox. A few have managed to install it, but in official DOSBox it is not stable enough to be usable. Some experimental builds are better, but do not expect any kind of support for those builds. You will be on your own. Win3x, on the other hand is supported. I'll let you know how it goes - After searching (and searching again... and again...) I am unable to locate my copy of the game. So... I'm off to purchase another boxed copy today. I have a bootable 95 image for Dosbox, but I'm sure it was created after I replayed the game several years ago.
