| Comments: | Inferno, I am having problems with the Ripper setup. I was wondering if you would be able to help me. When I get to the running of the InstallV.bat while running it with VDMS. It states that I don't have the CD in the drive. What can I do to fix this? Thank you in advance, Chad Rea |

| Comments: | Dear Sweet Inferno: You have hit the nail on the head regarding the people at Gameboomers. I have been a member so long my membership number is only 3 digits long. During that time I have gotten help getting my son through a long chemotherapy siege, a death of my loving husband on April 7, 2003, where I found him gone to heaven in his easy chair at 6:30am without any evidence that it was happening. The death of my father on December 7, 2002, just 4 months before. A very scarry time with my little grand daughter when she was very ill. A time for me, that had me in a wheel chair, that has now been fixed due to a great doctor. A bad family situation regarding three sisters that could learn many things from the angels that reside on the Gameboomers site. You have echoed my feelings so close to my heart that I am not ashamed to say that after I read your introduction, I cried. I am soft hearted like that, but as for now it has not hurt me in this crazy life we live. As far this wonderful service you are providing me in my quest with my new computer, I found that I have exactly the same system components as you do and it is only one week old. I have already run into some games, (new Games), that will not even acknowledge my efforts to install them on my new system. It seems like they are turning their little noses up to me and saying, "no, no you can't play with me on this playground, you must go somewhere else". Needless to say I have been a very unhappy gamer since I put the game together and it won't do half what my Windows 98 would do. I am going to have my Windows 98 gone through so that I will have the two systems, but that will not be for a little while. I think the mother board crashed and it needs to go to the computer doctor. Anyway, I am sure this is a lot more than you asked for when you invited us to write to you but it seemed at the time something I needed to do. Thankyou so much for your attention, even reading this long e-mail. Love and Hugs, Nancy bpegasus69 |

| Comments: | What up g!? Anyway... I cant get Saitarium to run on XP. You
know, the one where it crashes when you try to leave the room in the very
beginning. Its annoying because that game seems pretty freakolicous and
stuff. Anyway, if you have any way to get it running let me know. I would
really appreciate it. Send me an e-mail if you can and let me know if
there is a way to play it, if not, then no responce is required... Anyway
keep up the good work! Mizzer |

| Comments: | I'll bet you've figured out by now that there are quite a few of us that ran out and bought the newly released "Sanitarium" (XP compatible), which doesn't run on XP. Any ideas. From what I can see, some cannot run it at all and others haven't had a single problem. Hmmmm. Mine runs the opening video, thens displays a message that the sntrm.exe file has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I've tried everything I can think of. Help us, Obewankenobee. You're our only hope. | ||

| Comments: | Used your tips to get The 11th Hour running with XP, worked beautifully. However, I am now trying to get Zork Nemesis to run with XP, and am having problems. Followed your instruction as before,; however, when I click on my icon all I get is a black screen asking me to insert disc 1, which I do, and then the hourglass appears and it just sits like that. Does it require longer than the average game to load? Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance. | ||

| Comments: | I have tried running Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor on Win ME and Win XP but both games ask me to insert cd 1 when it is already in the drive and nothing I have tried or has been gleaned from Activisions web site has made them recognise this fact. Both games ran fine when I had Win 98. Any chance you know of a solution to this problem? | ||

| Comments: | Dear Inferno, You helped me with Black Dahlia a while back - for which I am forever grateful - and I've had invaluable help from your XP-list with other games as well. (In fact, the only game I haven't been able to fix is Zork Nemesis - I have the same problem as other people, the machine asks for CD1 when CD1 is already in the drive) Right now, however, I struggle with another game called "Discworld Noir". As far as I can see, it's not among your listed games. So my question is, do you know anything about this game, do you plan to add it to your list? In the readme files it says that the game is not compatible to XP. Still, it installs and even runs well. The problems start when I save and quit. Then, when I try to start the game again it's nowhere to be found on my desktop. I would really appreciate any advice on this. Elisabet |

adventure games, but recently "upgraded" to Win XP. The
stability is great, but I have many old games that are very difficult to
get to run. I haven't been able to find either patch for Ripper: 1.03 and 1.05. I'd really appreciate it if you could e-mail them to me at the address above. Thanks for your help. Clint Murray |

| Comments: | Hi- Trying to help a friend (new to PC's) load Zork Nemesis (long distance). We are doing all that has been written here but still having trouble. It says the game is loaded but the folder under "programs" is empty. Uninstalled/reinstalled- same thing. A loop of it saying it successfully installed & to restart. No game- just the screen where you can choose "play". He has an older GF440MX card. XP Pro, 512DDR 2100, AMD 1.47Ghz, 60GB ATA133 HD,DX8.1, onboard sound. There is also a window that pops up initially that says that he dosn't meet hardware requrements- which I'm sure is wrong. Next, I looked at your other sound/video downloads. Is there anything else we can try? Tough for me to do this over the phone he's not online yet so I can't do remote assistance either- (argghhh!) Wish I was sitting right there in his chair! Thanks for the site- Tracy |
