7th Guest ?

I want to play 7 the guest again, but for the life of me cannot get it into the computer correctly!!
How do I find out what video, music & speech I have on the computer?

Thank You
Kelly

Try using the Beta DirectX Patch t7gwinnv.zip downloadable here

It's easier than trying to sort out your sound card settings on a modern computer.

Thank You Jenny100, I have never done a patch of any sort is there anything I should know before I do this?
ALso Can this patch be put on a Floppy disk for further use?

Thank You
Kelly

You can put the patch wherever you like. It is only 202K in size so it will fit on a floppy. Since it is a zip file, you'll need Winzip or another archive program to extract it. Included in the zip is a readme which says:

Thank You

Where do I get an extraction program?

I hope this might help too Kelly -- at Setup
id/t7g/(dos prompt)
configure sound card
sound blaster 16 asp

You can download Winzip here

WinRAR is another archive program I've heard of

Winace is another one

There is also Brazip (from Brazil)

and many other choices. Take your pick.
I have an old version of Winzip on one computer and the Brazip demo version on another.

I'm also having problems. I have download the beta patch, it allows me to get to the point of it asking me to insert disc 2 to start the game, then it freezes everytime?

Have you tried reducing audio and video acceleration?

Jenny100, Well I figured out the problen with 7 th Guest. ! On Our older computer (my sons) it has a S3 video card which is not compatible with 7th Guest!
and I could not get it into my computer because my cd-rom drive went out !
I got a new cd rom drive at the local computer store last night for $20. and we installed it and turned on the computer and it would not load Windows so I called Tech suport and ended up disconnecting the new cd rom and the coputer is fine.! I am going back tomorrow for a replacement drive! So I will retry to instal it when I get the new cdrom drive.!
Wish us luck!!!
Kelly

OK. Here's luck.

I did try to reduce the audio and video but it didn't work.

This may be a dumb question, but did you run the patch after you downloaded it?

not such a dumb question... my nephew came to help and I didn't have the download completely correct. It is now working and I also learned something! Thanks for your patience
