Illegal exception in Smooth Scaled-mode

[Stierna]

Kings Quest I 4.0 VGA full version:

The "Smooth scaled sprites (fast CPUs only)"-option caused a crash as described in the error messages below. It seems to work if I decide to run in a window instead of full screen-mode, or if I start by saving then choose play game from the menue.

The error doesn't bother me that much since it all seems to work OK with every other possible setting or started from the play game option on the menu, but I thought you might like to know (according to the instructions in the error messages).

I'm sorry if I'm going slightly off topic, but god job everyone involved and many thanks for making these old gems shine again.

You cannot attach files on the forum. What you do is upload it to some webspace (free or otherwise) and copy/paste the link here. (or PM the link to Chris)

A free upload service: http://megafileupload.com/ (just an example, I'm sure there are plenty other free upload services)
