Hey guys, got a problem with this OLD OLD game...

Already used:

Does anyone know any fix for that ?

Do you have many CD/DVD-devices?
Or also some virtual devices?
Some games don't accept all device letters.
For example only D:\ etc.
So try to check this.
Also open regedit and search for any entries of this game.

I have no other idea at the moment.

This game is a bit hard to get running on a new computer, but there are ways...

First go to http://shortfilms.tk/ and download the Legacy Of Kain XP Update.

Then you will need a slowdown util that slows down your computer to a maximum of 1200Mhz. There are some that are recommended, but the util "Turbo" (available everywhere) worked very good for me.

This is AFAIK the only way to get the game running on a modern WinXP computer.

EDIT: I can't get this game to work anymore since I upgraded (just tried), so I fear that maybe AMD C&Q is giving me problems... sorry mate.

Muyfa666, thanks, but I'm already using the patch from the shortfilms.tk link. No luck there....

Can't get the game working to slowdown....

tks.
