[Audyssey] A weerd Eamon issue
Hi. As people might know, at the moment I'm at my parents, and thus using my laptop. Obviously as I've been having lots of fun with Eamon lately, i wanted to go on playing, even if I will have to start a new character. Like a good computer user the zip of the Eamon delux setup folder (along with all my other bits, bobs and programs), was duely backed up on my external harddrive, and transferred onto my laptop. Trying to install on the laptop however, I ran into a problem. run the install file,. the dos console window appears, - but nothing happens! This confused me, afterall the laptop is running xp. Several unzippings of the folder and I get the same result, which was mildly annoying being as I was in a small house by the sea with my parents and laptop and no internet, and would've rather fancied a bit of monster slaying (though as I played through many smugglers 4 missions, it wasn't a total waste gaming wise). In a fit of late night insomnia, I wander into windows explorer, and decide to try Eamon again, - afterall now I can redownload it just in case something went wrong with the copy. So I hit install, and up pops the Eamon install screen. wooohooo! however when i press enter to install to the C drive, - boop! oh dear. I then suddenly realize, that I forgot to unzip the folder at all. Okay, maybe 7zip is the problem then. so, I unzip the folder with the default xp unzipping tool and taadaar! Eamon duely appears! so the moral of this story is, despite using it on my desktop, Eamon and 7zip don't agree. I'm not sure if this helps anyone out, but hopefully it'll give someone a laugh at my expense at least. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Question on Smugglers
Hi Orin. i'm afraid I can't help with the program and Jaws, sinse I obviously use Hal, but you mention the direct download on audiogames.net? that's just a copy to the file download on the site, the way the other audiogames.net game pages have copies to direct download links, so shouldn't affect things.

Re: [Audyssey] Aemon deluxe
Hi tom. I'm sorry that won't fix things. this is, I'm afraid to say, the precise reason why when I bought my new desktop in july after my old one crashed,I absolutely insisted! upon Xp, sinse as well as Eamon and the like, there are several old graphical pc games I use my desktop for, such as original prince of persia. I'm hoping that by the time I have to upgrade again, some compatibility solutions will be found for vista, the way the compatibility issues betwene windows 95/98 programs, and Xp were eventually fixed.

Hello Ari and all, First, if you guys aren't sure what is or not on topic the list guidelines state you should consult one of the list moderators at gamers-ow...@audyssey.org to make sure your post is approved for this list.
