Kings Quest 7 and 8 with Windows 2000

[Unknown,Unknown]

Hi,

I love the two games but they don´t run with windows 2000.
Kq7 doesn`t start and in Kq8 I can´t load a saved game. Is there a solution for that problems. I searched all over the web but can´t find help.

KQ7: You’ll need to use the sierraw.exe executable copied from the cd into your kq7 folder rather than the sierraws.exe executable that is installed by default. Also, run in 256 color compatibility mode. If you want the game to run full screen, use run it from a batch file using Multires (free from http://www.entechtaiwan.com). Here’s the batch file I use:

c:
cd multires
multires.exe /640,480,8 /exit
d:
start /w C:\SIERRA\KQ7\SIERRAW.EXE c:\SIERRA\KQ7\RESOURCE.WIN
c:
multires.exe /restore /exit

where my cdrom drive is d:, multires in installed on c: i the “Multires” folder, and the game is in the c:\sierra\kq7 folder.
