My problem is that whenever I'm in full screen mode and the game minimizes by accident, the mouse is locked in the upper left corner. The only way I can get my mouse to work on the desk top is to initiate a shut down by using C+A+D and then canceling it after the current game closes. I'm using windows 7, 64-bit.

Run the games in Dosbox, the files needed to run them are all there.

I think I can manage, but if things get really buggy I'll look up how. Thanks. Also, the scan of the "greatest hits" manual that has all the games in one is pretty f'in' bad...

That it is, luckily it's not really needed since the CP answers for larry 2 and age check answers for 1 and 3 are in the directory of their respective games but for 1 and 3 you can bypass the age checks by hitting Ctrl-X in the original EGA version, Ctrl-alt-X in the VGA version of 1 same with Larry 3.

Your also supposed to be able to bypass Larry 2's cp by entering 0724 but for some reason I can't get it to work on GOG's version which is odd since the bypass code works on the version GOG uses so it may be something with ScummVM.

We need to petition them to switch to dosbox for these games. It's the best choice for old Sierra games.

It also runs Larry 6 hires quite well...

I'd sign it, if it would also mean getting 7 to complete things.

Well, 7 should work in Dosbox as well. I don't have my copy to check for this. But I know they at least patched it to include dos support, if it didn't have it originally.

How did you get the GoG version of 7 running DosBox? I'm trying like hell to change the resolution from 640x480!

Has anyone made an updated patch, so that it will work with the gog version, to add the dos version?

ScummVM is awesome for some stuff but this just isnt right. I don't understand why DOSbox wasn't used.

I still can't get used to the difference in sound while playing Larry 1.
