: Honestly,

: I'm really pissed off.

: I love Infernal Machine, but it seems to commercial and "Tomb Raidered" (ie:/ Jump here, do this, do that, running jump - PRESTO!) So Now I've dug up my old FOA CD and reinstalled it. A true adventure. And a game which messed with my brain and really gave me the exotic feel of joining Indy in his adventures when I crouched over an Amiga screen swapping disks every two minutes...

: Trouble is, I started this shortly before getting rid of my soundcard and plugging the sound directly through my new motherboard... Now I'm having trouble getting the game to run with sound under windows, and my PC ain't recognising my CD ROM when I boot to DOS.

: I just wondered whether anyone else has figured out a stress free way to run this wonderful game under W98?

CD-ROM: Maybe you haven't load a cd-rom driver for DOS. There is a dos cdrom driver from microsoft called MSCDEX.EXE. Try to run MSCDEX from the DOS prompt. If it don't work post an other message in the forum.
