The Zork Library Forum

Was feeling a bit nostalgic last friday, and bought Zork Nemesis. When I put the 1:st CD in the drive, it autostarted as it should, but the setup-screen is totaly black and nothing more happends.

I've tried installing on both Windows 98 and Windows XP, and the same thing happends. I assume it's got something to do with my hardware, but I dunno what.

I've tried everything. Setting "Windows Compability" mode on Setup.exe to 95/98 on XP; Disabeling "Hardware Accelertation" on Windows 98; Changing the screen-resolution before running Setup.exe... Nothing helps.

This seems to be a hard nut to crack.

My Comp.Specs are listed in the signature.

Any help would be appreciated!

Try running the install exe instead of running the autorun menu. I believe its setup.exe, hold down shift when you insert the disc so it won't autorun. Hold the button till the cd light stops blinking then run the exe.

I have a feeling it's your graphics card. Most of those specs are similar to mine, except the card. If you have onboard graphics as well, it might be worth trying that...

I have a GeForceFX 5200 and it works fine here. I did notice that the autoplay was fugged up though, so make sure you try the exe directly.
