![]() ![]() Using the compatibility mode for later versions of Windows solved the laggy mouse but I'm still getting freezes. I also tried a few other things, such as trying all of the compatibility modes outside of DOS Box. I mounted the game directory on my C: drive as C and the CD ROM is actually the E: drive mounted as D. I don't think I'm gonna be able to install through DOS. I would try installing on another drive but I can't type slashes in DOS BOX and as such I can't type the full directory. When I go to install, it says it could not write the files correctly and to try again, even though it gets to the end of the installation. I got most of the way through your guide, but unfortunately hit a wall at the point of installation. ![]() □ Anyhow, I tried that command and "Keyb US", even though my keyboard is standard US but to no avail. Keyb2.0 isn't a program? I was reading through one topic and saw that was a command, I thought it was supposed to be a website. ![]() All the other solutions I didn't mention in the readme did not work.Īlso, is it really necessary to install the game through DOS? If not, then I would rather just save myself the hassle and install through the CD in Windows, which has no problems. I will see if there's a sticky around here which has a link to it. The links for Keyb2.0 are broken and I couldn't find it in Google. I tried the keys around enter but none are the slash. I have no idea what to do with the keyboard layouts as far as changing them. I added all my commands to the config file including the directory I want to use to install but it won't show up in the directory field when the installation starts. None of the solutions in the readme worked for me. I also tried disabling Norton while playing, but still problems. Running the DOS4GW EXE gives the same result. I uninstalled and reinstalled just the old version of the game to see if the EXE would run in DOS but when running the EXE off the hard drive, it still says it can't be run in DOS mode. ![]() I'll let you guys know how that works out. I suppose I could try reinstalling the base version without the patch, save my save files, and try running the old version with my save files on DOS BOX. I'm thinking that the EXE I ran on the CD was the unpatched version which still will run on DOS and that's why I was able to run it. The CD was from Sold Out games and included the latest patch, which I applied when first installing it. I also thought of something while posting this. Now, I would run that, but I can't access my save files if I run it off the CD. Just for the hell of it, I mounted the CD ROM as well, and wouldn't you know it, the EXE works on that, and the game seems to run smooth. I followed all the directions in the Wiki for mounting and all that good stuff, but when I go to start the EXE in the folder, it tells me the program cannot be run in DOS mode, even though I thought it originally run in DOS? There's another EXE in the main file as well called DOS4GW, which looks like an EXE to get the DOS version running possibly but when I try to run it, I get this:ĭOS/4GW fatal error (1004): syntax is DOS4GW For a while I was able to get it to work on XP SP2 just by installing and without having to use compatibility mode, but I had to start using compatibility mode due to some freezing issues, and compatibility mode now causes the mouse to lag in game, so I'm trying out DOS BOX. I downloaded DOS BOX as a way to possibly get Theme Hospital working properly. ![]()
