Anyone have QFG 4 1/2 for Windows?

[Mephistophilis]

If we all tell you it's Crap will you feel better? I've not played any of the Quest for Glories, Is it worth getting them?

[Snarky]

Yeah, the QFG games are true adventure classics. If you start looking for them now, AGDI may have the remake of QFG2 out by the time you finish the first. (Fingers crossed)

QFG 4.5 isn't half bad either.

[Hollister Man]

Is it possible that no one ever compiled a WIN version of QFG4.5?

[Barbarian]

Okay, after a little trial and error, I got the available version ofÃ,  QFG 4.5 working with Windows XP. Here what I did:

Double-click on your "My Computer" icon (or Right-Click on "Start" and select "Explore"), then navigate to and open up the folder of where you have QFG 4.5 game saved on your computer.

Look for the QFG.exe file.
Right click on the QFG.exe file.
Select "Properties".
Select the "Compatibility" tab.
Check the box for where it says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
and from the drop-down menu select "Windows 2000".
then "OK".
Then double-click on the QFG.exe file and it should run fine now in your Windows XP (at least it works fine for me that way).

Let me know if it works for you. If not, try adjusting some of the other "compatibility" settings and see if you can get it to run.

Good luck.

I tried that, but it didn't work at all. The graphics are all messed up. The're all multicolored blocks scrambled everywhere.

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't this work?

I don't know which version of AGS it was made with, but here are some download links:
ags_215_sr3.zip
ags_221.zip
ags_231.zip
ags_255.zip
ags_256d.zip

[deadsuperhero]

I tried those, they didn't work either.

[Mephistophilis]

Maybe your computer just can't run it?
I'm getting hold of The VGA remake of the first. Looks fairly cool.

[deadsuperhero]

My system can't run DOS AGS games on XP, they look all screwed up with the whole scrambled image. BTW, check your PM's, I've got to ask you something.

Try getting the latest video drivers for your GFX card. Also, try running the ags windows setup tool and runnign the game in windowed mode.

SSH, did you read the entire article? I said I only have DOS version, so I can't run it it windowed mode.Ã,  Also, my GFX card is pretty new. I just got it last month, cuz my old one crapped out.

they are supposed to be like that  :

also, SSH meant update your Graphics card drivers, your gfx card maybe new but the drivers could be 2 years old.

...Are "abandonware" links to IDSA copyrighted games allowed here? Even if so, Mephistophilis, what does this have to do with finding a Windows version of QFG 4.5?

[Pumaman]

Abandonware links are ok here, because it's often the only way to get the game. Warez links (games less than 5 years old), on the other hand, are not.

[Mephistophilis]

Webspider asked me for it. I'll tread carefully concerning Abandonware and Warez then.

use VDMsound.Install it then right-click the QFG 4 1/2.exe file and choose run with VDMS.
Now it should work
