installing Alien Legacy on WinXP

[Unknown,Unknown]

I can get Alien Legacy (CD-ROM Version) to install fine on Windows XP. Whenever I go to run the program it says to insert the CD in the disc drive or press ESC. I have tried modifying the .INI files, copying all files to my hard drive, swapping discs to different drives, nothing works.

Any help anyone could provide would be appriciated.

System config:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1GB RAM
384 GB HD access
16x DVD drive
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum ex
nVidia Geforce FX 5200 256 MB

Thanks in advance!!

Did you install it in the default location? Gabriel Knight 3 can do this too, if you install it other than its default location.

never had any of these on XP Pro, just XP Home.

try Virtual PC or partition a part of your HD (risky, that’s why I recommend VPC) and install Win95/98 and it should work just fine.

remember XP (all versions) in NT, and has many normal Win things missing.

wish I could help you easier

I don’t know if you tried this already but I was having the same problem with my version of Alien Legacy. So I downloaded DoSBox’s latest version and the game works perfectly under 800X600 and 16 bit haven’t trie dit yet under higher settings. Hope this helps.
