I just updated my computer to a Dell Pentium III, 600. This is the error message I get after I loadd this game.

an exception 0xcc0000005 occured in acwin.exe at eip=0xbfff7b992 (strcpy/strcat) program pointer is x6, aci version 2.566.631, gtagss (23,2)

When I try to start a new game, I get the above message after Graham leaves the castle and the gate closes down behind him, before the moat monster can be seen or heard. I am running Win98SE and Directx 9.0c

If anyone can help that would be great. Also where can I download acsdos.exe?

a few points dont make sence here. your using the word "updated" along with the words "PIII 600, win98SE, (and goodness forbit...)Dell" what did you have before?

It sure would be nice if someone could help me with this problem, instead of giving me a stupid answer like the person who responded. I used to have a Pentium 1 computer but then I upgraded to a Pentium III 600 MHZ machine. After I load the game, Graham walkes out of the Castle and then it quits with the error message I put up earlier. I would like to send Chris Jones an email but don't know his email address. Also WHERE DO I GET ACDOS.EXE!!!! HINTS DON'T HELP, I NEED ANSWERS

Acdos.exe is available from the AGS website at www.bigbluecup.com.

I'm afraid I'm not really sure what the error you report means...it's an engine error, rather than a scripting error. Have you tried fiddling around with the resolution/letterbox settings?

I have looked all over the bigbluecup website and still cannot find the download for Acdos.exe, could you type in the exact place where I can download this file? I am getting really frustrated with this whole forum, it seems that no one wants to help they just like to type in answers like riddles.

It's in the download section. Simply download AGS and open the zip-file.

ACDOS.EXE is not in the ZIP file and the readme lists it as discontinued. Is there any place else to download it from?
