(re: Difficulty installing SQ5 on a new Windows machine)
I am unaware of any Windows version of SQ5. The only SQ Windows games should only be 4 and 6. If you are having trouble installing the game, just copy the SQ5 folder on the CD to your hard drive and run INSTALL.EXE. If you still have trouble, edit your RESOURCE.CFG to your needs. It should be somthing like this:
videoDrv = VGA256N.DRV
soundDrv = GENMIDI.DRV
audioDrv = AUDBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
language = 1
minHunk = 223k
