Day of the Tentacle works fine right off the disc in Windows 2000/XP.
1. Simply install the game.
2. If uncompressing from a compressed archive then make sure that the "read-only" attribute it unchecked for all files.
3. Set up the proper sound values.
For builtin XP sound: SFX: SB16 Port 220 IRQ 5 8bit DMA 1 MUSIC: General Midi
For VDMSound (works in 2000/XP): SFX: SB16 Port 220 IRQ 7 8bit DMA1 16bit DMA 5 Music: Adlib/General Midi/Roland
I recommend using VDMsound for better sound quality. Try both anyway.
4. Now just run the game. No configuration of memory should be necessary unless you've messed with autoexec.nt or config.nt
Oh and delete any .PIF files in the game directory before using any of these instructions.
