Can't start KQ2
You read it right. . .it just doesn't start. I get a button on the taskbar as if it was running, but I can't get into the game. I can't shut it down. If I do it through alt-ctrl-delete, the system just crashes.<br><br>i am using windows ME, celeron 800 w. rather a lot of RAM <p></p><i></i>

Re: Can't start KQ2
How are you trying to start the game? Are you:<br><br>1/ clicking "Play Game" from the launcher menu?<br><br>2/ Or are you going into the start/Programs/tierra/KQ2VGA menu and clicking on 'Play King's Quest 2 VGA'?<br><br>3/ Manually going into the game directory and double clicking the KQ2VGA.EXE icon?<br><br>Could you try all 3 methods and let me know which ones crash and which (if any) load the game succesfully. <p></p><i></i>
None
None of the versions let me run the game. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I'd tried them already. Fortunately, I have another PC to play on <p></p><i></i>

I think this is a general problem with AGS. I also have a computer that will not run ANY game made with AGS. It's a good thing I have a older backup computer that will run these games. The computer that will not run AGS games is AMD based and has VIA onboard sound. <p></p><i></i>
Re: Re
Have you tried the patch, out of interest? Does it work then?<br><br>Bit strange, I have an AMD with VIA on-board sound and it works fine. I assume you have the latest DirectX installed?<br> <p></p><i></i>

Yes all drivers are up to date. Until you mentioned it I probably would not have bothered to try again on this computer but YES it now works with patch #2. I am a fan of games made with AGS and until now I always had to play them on the other computer. It is also an AMD but in that computer I have a SB Live. At first I thought the problem might have been the USB mouse I am using, so I tried a PS2 mouse with no luck. When I tried to start the game it would just sit there at the desktop like it was trying to find a piece of hardware such as a mouse or sound card. The button would appear in the taskbar but the computer would eventually lock up completely. I have only run the intro and about 5 minutes of the game because I have to go to work, but when I have time I will play through the game and let you know how it is running <p></p><i></i>
