I seem to have it working now except for not being able to access the Options screen.

What options screen?

You have three options when you start the game:
Return to the view (hit "r")
Journey Onward (hit "j")
Initiate New Game (hit "i")

Are you talking about the Graphics Configuration program? You have to use the shortcut the installer creates for that or else it won't work.

Sorry for the confusion, it was me that was confused !
The cursor was flashing where it said Options and I ( mistakenly ) thought it was an Option setup menu, not realizing that I simply had to hit the appropriate letter below that.

Wait till you get old ... :)

LOL I just grew up on DOS and use DOSBox a lot to play old games like this... plus I've played many Ultimas. :)

I suppose reading instructions would have helped but I thought that was too much work :)

Actually, I used to be a whiz with DOS back in the 80's but I've never tried a RPG type game before, always been a FPS guy.

Thanks for your reply though, much appreciated. !
