Zeus: Master of Olympus (Sierra/Impressions)

On starting the program it immediately comes up with an application error:

The instruction at "0x0058a624" referenced memory at "0x00000001". The memory could not be "read"

 

Any suggestions?

The Autoexec.nt file has been either deleted or changed.

You need to create a new file in Notepad and save it:

 

@echo off

 

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.

REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a

REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

 

REM Install CD ROM extensions

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

 

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

 

REM Install DPMI support

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

 

 

REM The following line enables Sound Blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM.

REM The command for setting the BLASTER environment is as follows:

REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330

REM where:

REM A specifies the sound blaster's base I/O port

REM I specifies the interrupt request line

REM D specifies the 8-bit DMA channel

REM P specifies the MPU-401 base I/O port

REM T specifies the type of sound blaster card

REM 1 - Sound Blaster 1.5

REM 2 - Sound Blaster Pro I

REM 3 - Sound Blaster 2.0

REM 4 - Sound Blaster Pro II

REM 6 - SOund Blaster 16/AWE 32/32/64

REM

REM The default value is A220 I5 D1 T3 and P330. If any of the switches is

REM left unspecified, the default value will be used. (NOTE, since all the

REM ports are virtualized, the information provided here does not have to

REM match the real hardware setting.) NTVDM supports Sound Blaster 2.0 only.

REM The T switch must be set to 3, if specified.

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3

 

REM To disable the sound blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM, specify an invalid

REM SB base I/O port address. For example:

REM SET BLASTER=A0

%SystemRoot%\system32\vipx.exe

%SystemRoot%\system32\vlmsup.exe

 

BTW, You cannot run DirectX games on NT4 you need either

Windows 98,Me, 2000 or XP.
