Hello Folks!!

Today i bought the GK trilogy and Phantasmagoria 1&2- all but GK3 works very well, the installation seems to be normal, but if i try to start Gk3, nothing happens!
I looked in the path of the installation and noticed, that there is no Dosbox inside..?
I downloaded it again fo a reinstallation, this time, during the setup options screen, i noticed that you can only check the box "install Gk3"- but no Dosbox- is this the case? Have you forgotten to pack the dosbox inside or should i copy the dosbox from an other game inside it?

Thanx
Klaus

Forgott the SysSpecs:
Win7/64bit
920@3,61Ghz

Btw.: is there a chance to get the Games in German?

There's no bundled DosBox because GK3 is not a DOS game, it's a Windows game.

When you try to start the game is there an error message or something like that ?

No error message- nothing, the mouse cursor gets maybe only a second to a ring and thats it :(

Not sure what could be going on there.

You could try to unistall the game and then re-install it to a directory other than the default one, something like C:/Games. You can choose the install folder using the options button on the installer you mentioned before.

Have already done this by my own standarts..
also, i have installed windows new ~3 Months before, the system is , you can say "at its best condition" :)- al up to date, no probs at all...
Thank you for trying to help me Namur, but i think i have to accept, that i lost again a great game ;(




HEUREKA!!!

Hmm, i reinstalled it now the ~26th time, this time i ´ve chosen a complete "abnormal" path (c:kkkk\lol\.. instead of my ProgramK path, also i have ever disabled uac control)), and it works- i really dont know why, but this was the "solution"- thats creepy, or should i say- very microsoftish!

Thanx again for helping me!
Long live the old games...

Ah, so it was probably UAC getting in the way of the install process.

Good to know you got it working, have fun ;)
