The 7th Guest

[Quintus 0]

Hello, This is my first post on the forum so nice to meet all of you.

 

I recently purchased the 7th guest and have installed it onto my computer. Here is some basic information.

 

I am running windows XP.

 

The version of T7G I purchased was the windows 95/98 version. An update from the original.

 

I can run the game but the sound and video was slow. I fixed that with lowering accelerations. Everything seemed to be fine but I encountered another problem.

 

I'll be playing the game and it will shutdown at random times with this message.

 

Unknown asset type--please restart.

 

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Any help is appreciated.

ok so i was searching around and some people say to use dosbox. However, I have never used dos before in my life. here is how far I got but i don't know where to go from here. please help

 

mount c c:/my games/7thguest

 

mount d d:/ -t cdrom ioctl

 

>D

 

D:/ dir /w

 

 

apparently i'm suppossed to just hit d:/>install and it will start. however it is not doing that for me. please help

hmmm. another problem. Ok so i found out what I did wrong. picked the wrong driver . That being said, i typed in t7gsetup.exe and i heard the computer getting excited ^^. However it quickly gave me this message.

 

this program cannot be run in dos mode.

 

Any other ideas on how i can fix my problem?
