I just found this website and Im thrilled. I have a Windows XP on my computer and I am having trouble trying to pull it up to play. I get an error message regarding the graphics mode 320x200 Can not set video mode. I saw the other listing and I downloaded the updated direct x but now my system just flashes and I still get the same error message. Can anyone help me?

1) Try downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card.

If that doesn't work:

2) Try using said setup-program to run the game in 640x400 instead.

I clicked on the link and went to the one you told me too. When I click on the USA option a box pops up and it gives me the choice to open or save. I click open and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong??

It's possible that your video card doesn't support 320x200, which is what the game was designed for. I'd recommend running the setup program as mentioned earlier and selecting 640x400 for resolution. You might also check the box to run the game in a window. That's the setup I have to use for my laptop (which doesn't support 320x200 either).

mabey froce letter box res and put it on 640x480.
i'd be very surprised if a graphics card couldn't handle that

Thanks everyone I got it to work in the 640x400 resolution with it running in a window. I appreciate all your help!!
I also want to thank AGDInteractive for remaking these games!! When I got my computer it had xp and I tried every which was I could think of to get the Kings Quest series to play and I was so upset it wouldn't. Im so excited that they are being re-made and I do hope that you remake the whole series. Im telling everyone I know about this website and how awesome I think it is. The older adventure games were the best and there just isn't anything else out there that can compare to them. Thanks again for the remake and thank all of you for helping me get it to play!!
