"7th Guest" should run in Windows, when using the downloaded file "v32tng.exe" to run the game. http://www.tbyte.com/downloads/t7gwinnv.zip Run the installer (7th Guest-disc 2) from a DOS window (Start_Run_Cmd), which copies the files to the c:\Id\t7g folder. Then copy the downloaded file's content (extracted from the .zip file) to the c:\Id\t7g directory. Double-click "C:\ID\T7G\v32tng.exe" to run the game. Alt-Enter toggles between Full Screen & window. There's no DOS drivers for my SB Audigy sound card, so running in Windows is the only option. Runs fine for a while; I can solve one or two of the "puzzles", then the game crashes and abruptly quits. Force saving: move the cursor to the top of the screen, where it should turn into a sphinx pointer (pyramid with eyeball). Click this to get a prompt for game options, one of which should be "save". You get to pick an empty slot of 10 available to save.

Run Driver Cleaner, while booted in F8/Safe Mode: http://www.drivercleaner.net

Belarc Advisor [www.belarc.com] or Everest [www.lavalys.com] can be used to determine the current bios date: The exact bios version can usually be read at initial bootup, when the black and white DOS mode screen is displayed. The ISO image versions are meant for burning a bootable CD; the other 2 are for making a bootable floppy disk. Just be sure to determine which bios version (1.xx or 2.xx) is currently in use, and then upgrade to the newer version: either 1.15 or 2.03, as appropriate.
