Voice not working in old game
I have a dell dimension 2400 and i recently found a computer game from my familys first computer, the game is Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Atlantis. It was from 1992. I have been messing around with it and I can get the game to work and it will play music but the voice doesnt work correctly. I go to the setup screen (MS DOS) and i put in for the Music catogory, Gen. Midi port and the first one, 330, will play music. With the voice however i am given two choices, No voice and Soundblaster & Compatables. If i choose soundblaster and compatables i am given three further choices, port, irq, and buffer.In port it gives me (detect 210 220 230 240 250 260 and other), I tell it to detect the port and it will choose 220, when i get to the irq it gives me the choices (detect IRQ 2 IRQ 3 IRQ 5 IRQ 7), if i tell it to detect it will make everything in the voice catagory blank, if i choose any irq and any buffer (choices 2 4 8 16 32 64) then play the game it will play voice for a second or two then cut out and the game wont proceed. If there is any remedy to this i would greatly appreciate any tips. If not oh well.

If the game is "Indiana Jones & The Fate Of Atlantis" then I recommend a brilliant application called ScummVM which allows you to play a plethora of older adventure games (including most of the LucasArts catelogue) on Windows.

Or another possibility is DOSbox which offers soundblaster emulation:

The old DOS games are not Windows XP compatible. Some will work partially, some will not work at all. Windows XP is not a DOS based system and handles memory, and system resources differently than the older systems. There is no Autoexec.bat file to define the DOS audio parameters for DOS based games.
