Have you tried visiting Sierra Help? The site and the message board that's part of it are probably the best place on the internet to search for technical advice on getting Sierra games running.
Re: Mask of Eternity on vista
i think it has something to do with the mask.exe that came with the cd if i can get all of the files that came with the cd it would help even if i have the cd because i think thats what is making the problem

Re: Mask of Eternity on vista
It wouldn't be a problem with mask.exe its on the CD so its read-only and can't be changed or corrupted. It'll be Vista's inabilty to load the exe.
As Erpy suggested, that Sierra Help site would be your best bet.
Thats why I never upgraded to Vista, XP suits me fine and runs all my old games lol!

I won't ever be using Vista. I'll go straight to Windows 7 if I have to change.

Ditto, but not until there's a working method of playing old DOS games, whether it be DosBox or a virtual solution like VMWare or something!!MusicallyInspired wrote:I won't ever be using Vista. I'll go straight to Windows 7 if I have to change.

Re: Mask of Eternity on vista
@Angelus: In that case I'd probably stick with Ubuntu until such time as DOS compatibility comes along .
