Hi this is Chris. I downloaded the game, the speech pack and the music pack and i installed them. When i want to go to the game settings, the Computer freezes for a short while, then it starts up again. Everytime i try to start a new game, the Computer freezes and i have to reboot the Computer. I could only see the beginning intro of the game, but i can't even start the game. ALT X or ALT Q doesn't even work. In the Game settings, i used all the different settings there, it does not do any good. It appears i cannot play King's Quest on my Computer anymore and i love this game. It now does the same with King's Quest 1. Please help, it happened since i upgraded my Computer. this is what i have on my Computer. 18.6GB Harddrive 256.0 MB of Ram Geforce2 MX/MX 400 3D Card DirectX 8.1 Thank you and write back to me at daventry@iafrica.com

Try running the setup program and increasing the amount of sprite cache under the "Advanced" section.

I ended up using 20mb, it still froze. I tried everything, the game just freezes on my Computer. I can only play the game on my older Computer now.

The Operating System is the main base of all your software! Examples would be Windows XP, Windows 98, Macintosh and so on...<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"> <img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/ima ... nature.jpg" style="border:0;"/>

Hmm...when it freezes, does your sound hang and repeat in an endless loop? I have a feeling that your computer have outdated drivers for the video card or sound card. Also, what resoulution are you running the game in? 320x200 is the most reliable one. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> <img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/ima ... nature.jpg" style="border:0;"/>

I start at the dock, then the game freezes. I keep hearing the sea over and over again. I forgot where or how to look on my Computer what new video card and sound card i have. how do i look. I always run the game in 320x200, besides i do what a game manual tells me to do.

Right-click on "My computer" and select properties. Click on the second tab (hardware) and you get a list of hardware including your video card and sound card. Visit the sites of the manufacturers of your video/soundcard and download the latest drivers for Win98. Also make sure to have the latest version of DirectX. And don't have other programs running while playing the game. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashm ...

Hmmm....alright! How much free space do you have on your Hard Disk? <img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/signature.JPG" style="border:0;"/>

Used Space: 4.50GB Free Space: 14.1GB Capacity: 18.6GB

I believe there's a driver for your soundcard on <a href="http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.ws ...  page, although you might want to conduct a more sophisticated search if it's not the right one. Also, visit NVidia's homepage and download the latest Win98-drivers for your videocard. Install both on your computer. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ...

Hi, im sorry for taking so long. I did download the file, but it didint look like the right one. I contacted a guy who works at a Computer place at home and he told me there are many drivers for this. He tried to give me the right site but something happened to his Cellphone. Now i can't get to him. Im gonna wait now and call him tomorrow morning at work, then he will give me the right site and the right file. Let's just hope the right Audio he gives me is the right file and the game works. I already downloaded the newest Nvidia 3D file and installed it. Let's pretend the Audio file is wrong and it doesent work and the game still freez, what then.

Then...you either got a virus/trojan or Windows is corrupted a bit...do other games work fine? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("> <img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/signature.JPG" style="border:0;"/>

All my other games work fine. When i deleted the Music Pack from KQ2VGA, the game didn't freeze at all. The Digital Music is gone witch is sad because it's quite cool. Now i hear normal music, but its a bit low. The speech pack stays and i can now play the game to the finish. It appears there is a problem with the Digital Music file.

I'd suggest posting this as a bug report on the AGS technical forums at: <a href="http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk">www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk</a> Chris isn't around right now, but I'm sure the issue will be added to the tracker for him to look at when he gets back.

Hello, what is going on here. I have a King's Quest game problem. Im Chris, im not looking for another Chris. It appears, by installing only the game of KQ2, the game works. There is a problem with the music and speech pack. I only installed the KQ1 game, but the mouse does not work. Not even the keybord. I can't even play the game with or without the speech pack and the music pack. All in all, the Computer still freezes a bit when i want to go to the settings and the games. All my other games work fine.

Whoops. Confusion. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Umm...Daventry or Chris...AGD2 meant that Chris Jones (the creator of the engine) isn't at the AGS-forums right now, but he should be back fairly soon. Since this might be a problem with the engine, it might be a good idea to post it on the AGS-forums (at www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk) so Chris Jones will notice it. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashg ...

I installed the new Audio updated file and the games still freeze. I can only play KQ2 without the music and speech file. KQ1 does not begin play, because the keybord and mouse do not work. I geuss i can now only play these games on my older computer.
