Return to Krondor & Betrayal in Antara- can't play
well i just finished Betrayal at Krondor and that was fun. Blast from the past. Thanks Dosbox for that. So now i have Return to Krondor and Betrayal in Antara CDs to play, but when I insert the disc from either game, a System Error box comes up, and says Cannot read from device.

and if that doesn't happen, then this problem does:
an Application Error box that comes up, and it says "SETUP caused a General Protection Fault in module SETUP.EXE at 0001:2047...."
so i can't get anywhere with either of these games - which are like 5 years more recent than Betrayal at Krondor... dammit! you'd think it would get easier...
My cpu platform seems to be Windows XP professional.
I did a search of these chat forums here but holy crap there are a lot of pages. anyone solve these problems before? you can just refer me to another page if you like, or cut & paste that answer to this post... i'd be grateful.
my google search told me plenty about how these two games aren't as good as the original Betrayal at Krondor, so i'll just
pre-empt that banter here and now with an, "I know, I know... I've decided to play them anyway."
*Note: I'm not particularly adept with computers, so use acronyms and cpu-lingo to screw me up further
I honestly need a step-by-step. thank god i found a step-by-step for DosBox or else i'd never have played BaK either!
any help appreciated boyz,
JP

Ok, I installed DosBox 0.72, and switched the core to normal but as soon as I switch the core I get this error when I try to open Antara.
Win 32s - Error
Initialization of a dynamic link library failed.
The process is terminating abnormally.
also
Application Execution Error
Unexpected DOS error: 21

Someone please respond, we could really use some help with this, I tried re-installing win32s, tried lots of dosbox settings, including all the core settings, tried up[censored] win32s, and I eventually got the game to start to some up, it shows the sword cursor, but just a black screen and the cursor and everything else frezzes.
These aren't the most well trafficed forums and the amount of DOSBox users here can probably be counted on one hand.
Either VOGONS or Sierra specific forums are your only choices.
Betrayal in Antara worked fine the last time I tried it a year? ago.
Verify that your are using normal core and at least DOSBox 0.72. Also try the CVS versions of DOSBox.

Not sure if I should have started a new thread or not, but I recently purchased Return to Krondor from eBay.
The disks are in great shape. They don't have any scratches, smudges, or anything else.
My issue:
I have Windows 7.
Open the Autoplay and the Return to Krondor window opens.
Either Install or Exit.
Install.
(My computer prompts: Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?)
Click on Yes.
..... Nothing happens.
Open the CD folder.
Run Setup.exe.
(My computer prompts: Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?)
Click on Yes.
..... Nothing happens.
I have tried Properties: changed it to Windows 95 (and also tried a Windows 98/ME & Windows XP) compatibility with and without 256 colors, 640x480 screen resolution, and always Run as Administrator.
Is there a patch, a method of running it in DOSBox like I had to for KQ7, or what am I doing wrong?
Help, please.
Thank you.
