Getting Kings Qest 7 to run on Windows Millenium

[Unknown,Unknown]

I can’t get Kings quest to run on Windows Millenium. When the game starts it locks up the whole computer. Space Quest 6 runs just fine. Have any ideas?

What version do you have? Look for a file in the root directory of the CD called “VERSION” and open it up in Notepad. The first version of KQ7 had problems running on windows 95, so it would on Me as well. If you have version 1.4 and up, it should run on Me (You need version 2 to run on XP.) There was no patch to update version 1 to 1.4. If your version is is not at least 1.4 and there is no DOS version on your disc, then I’m afraid you are out of luck. You would need Windows 3x to run the game.

PS You could try “Virtual PC” with Win 31 installed in it. I don’t know if you can still download a free trial version of VPC since Microsoft bought it or not.

Try downloading:

ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/patches/pc/kq7pat.exe

Copy it to your KQ7 folder and run it to extract it. This patch is for your version and is supposed address some lockups.

I tried the patch but is didn’t do anything. I’m gonna try building a pentium computer with my spare parts.
