ah well that's a different problem all together, show us your crash log, open the console and copy what is written... if your having problems with that...

faq wrote:To make it visible, you should run ScummVM from command line. To open a command prompt, open the Start Menu and select the 'Run' option. Under Windows NT/2000/XP, type 'cmd.exe' (no quotes) in the dialog box that shows up; under Windows 95/98/Me, type 'command.com' instead. If necessary, change to the proper drive first by typing 'D:' (where 'D' is the drive ScummVM is located). Change to ScummVM's directory by typing 'cd \your\path\to\scummvm' (substituting the appropriate path) and then type 'scummvm'.

i think i need to move my ini file..? it says...

"The default location of the config file <scummvm.ini> in ScummVM has changed under windows NT4/2000/xp/vista. You may want to consider moving your file from the old default location to the new default location

using configuration file c:windows\scummvm.ini
browser returned a node that is not a directory: 'E:\'! "

i know that the cd drive works in scummvm, because i can play sam n' max, and indiana jones: fate of atlantis...

a. its always best to copy files from the cd to your HDD, while this isn't the problem errors may occur down the line

b. i doubt its an .ini problem

c. diagnostically its not very helpful posting the bit *you* think is the problem

d. please post the whole thing

to use a mac game on PC you have to use an app like HVFexplore. Macs use a completely different filesystem than pc's and while macs can read pc disks nativly PC's cant read Mac disks without third party apps

You can download the app and the helpfile Here on my site (mirrored, i am in no way affiliated with the app)

Read the readme for the app, there is a part of the installation that will have to be done manually

Hope this helps
