Default Re: trouble installing the 7th guest

Hi emmsy25 via WindowsKB.com,

7th Guest and 11th Hour have a lot of fans who play it using XP. This article:
http://pub44.ezboard.com/ftheseventh...icID=236.topic shares some of the techniques they use
to run it successfully.

Chris H recommends "going to www.google.com and doing a search for files
t7g*.zip and 11h242.zip. These are updates for 7th Guest and 11th Hour which
are quite helpful.".

Here's some general supplemental information which you should find useful ;-) ...
11th Hour has been made to work using Windows 2000 compatibility mode:
How to use Compatibility Mode: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533

or try using the Multiboot bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html .

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two of the best
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm :-)
