I recently picked up an old laptop that has Windows 98 on it, the combination of which I thought would be ideal for a bunch of old adventure games I have from the late 90's and early 2000's. Most of the games installed without a hitch but as luck would have it two of my favorites wouldn't go on. The first (a classic called 'Morpheus') loaded up okay, I got the start screen up, and was all set to give it a whirl when I accidentally pulled out the power cord and instantly switched off the unit - the battery in it is dead, which I was happy to live with. Well when I powered the laptop back up the game wouldn't load, so I tried uninstalling it and putting it back on but now the laptop won't even acknowledge the disk - why I don't know.
The other game (a great little game brought out by the Discovery channel called 'Byzantine') loads up okay, but every time I try to play it I get this odd message - 'No direct drawer hardware' - what on earth that means I have no idea as I've never come across it before in my life.
Anyone have any ideas?
