Status : Offline		I installed GK 1 in pure DOS.  Everything went fine, but when I enter cd c:\sierra\gkcd\gkcd at the C: prompt, it says that it can't find the disc in the drive.  I know the game works because I played it before.  I don't remember having this problem either.  Can you help me out? :-[

cd sierra\gkcd\gkcd (without the c:\ that is)

Status : Online		Or run sierra.exe directly from the GKCD directory.

Advanced tip: when I was playing GK1 recently, my bloody stupid 48x (or whatever it is) DVD-ROM was driving me crazy because it was constantly spinning up and down, slowing down the game considerably and it was generally a huge nuisance.

So I went and copied the relevant directories off the CD to the harddrive, edited RESOURCE.CFG to point to harddrive and voila, I had HD-only version of GK1, no CD even required!

Here's what my RESOURCE.CFG looks like (the last few lines):

audio=C:\SIERRA\GKCD
:\gkcd\sfx
:\gkcd\patches
:\gkcd\aud
sync=D:\gkcd\aud
movieDir=D:\gkcd\seq
patchDir=C:\SIERRA\GKCD
:\gkcd\patches
audiosize=63k

C:\SIERRA\GKCD is where GK1 is installed. D:\GKCD is my "virtual CD" directory. E:, my CD-ROM, is not even listed. For reference, I copied the AUD, PATCHES, SEQ and SFX directories from the CD, nothing else.
I forgot my sig.

Status : Offline		Got it running.  I uninstalled and re-installed in windows instead of DOS and it runs fine.  Go figure.  I could've sworn I played it in DOS the first time.
