Hey,

Hoping when reading this taht you are a Crusader fan. And hopefully, you know how to fix my error. I have two crusader disk, they are both basically the same except one is a new version (with trailers ect.). Neways, I cannot seem to get the program to install properly. I've used DOSBox and it only goes a certain way through the setup and haults and shuts down (and thats on my labtop). And on my computer it installs, except you cannot run the game itself. If anyone knows a sure fire way to get this baby to work, taht would be amazing, I am itching to try out this old game of mine. Thankx for your time.

Mat

YOu can get it working with Windows XP. There is intructions on the internet easy to find, using a dos emulator called Dos-box (freeware). And it should work, if you reply I might send you the link to were the exact forum is for intructions. I currently don't havethe link yet.

I gotcha covered. Here is the link for the forum I found;
http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic-nc-t-2979.html

And I'll give the intructions it has of the very first post, maybe you only need that lil piece.

Howdoo lads and lasses.

I spent an age yesterday trying to get Crusader to work under XP / NTFS on my laptop. I tried everything suggested in this forum and a whole load of other places. In the end I managed to get it to work using DOSBox (which on first try failed completely). Here's how I did it -

1. Install DOSBox.
2. Copy all Crusader game files into a temp folder on your C: drive
3. Run DOSBox
4. Type "mount c c:\" without the quotes
5. Type "mount d c:\temp" without the quotes
6. Step 5 presumes that all of the Crusader files are stored in the c:\temp folder
7. Type "d:\" and you should be in a folder with the Crusader install files.
8. Install the game with all defaults (sound, location, etc) but feel free to change screen size, etc. Make sure that you do a full install.
9. Once installed, navigate to the Crusader directory on your c: drive (in Dosbox of course).
10. Run the game.

You'll need to mess around with CTRL-F12 and Ctrl-F11 to change the CPU cycles (basically how much of your CPU is given over to DOSBox. After some messing I got the sound running fine 90% of the time with only minor glitches and the game movement is fine (my CPU cycles are set around 12000 but you should read the DOSBox readme file to see how to configure this setting correctly).

I haven't tested saving the game yet as I'm just about to head out - it should be fine though.

Hope that this has helped someone out!

Jon
