OK, if you don't have it anymore, try redownloading the yahtzee.ini from the guide, save it to your desktop, and do a drag and drop from there to the Windows folder. See if it will let you overwrite the old file that way...here's a short video to show what I'm talking about.  |

Sorry about that.  Only other thought was to try running notepad as an administrator (type notepad in search bar, right click on it, select run as admin) and see if it would let you edit and save the yahtzee.ini that way. |

I got the game running. But there's no sound. Is that normal?

No, you should have some music and sound effects, although the sound effects have been hit or miss for me over the years.
You've probably already seen this, but there's an option menu which lets you turn sound & music on or off. I think I have the music set to 'short loop' by default in the .INI, could try putting the CD in and setting it to CD music to see if that does anything.

Unfortunately, it did nothing. Game runs. Just no sound

Ok I have a new problem. I actually figured out a way to install the game from the CD using the setup file. What i did was download a 32 bit installer and replaced it with the 16-bit installer. I got the game installed, added the files in your guide, downloaded the ini file and made the necessary changes to the directory in the file. The game launches with sound effects and music playing. But now, i can't play any other versions of Yahtzee besides the classic mode

DJ, can you post up the link to the 32 bit installer you used? I'll try to duplicate what you did and see what happens.

Sure here's the link: www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10988Here are the instructions: 1. Click on the link and on the webpage, click the Is3Engine.zip file. and it should start the download 2. create a new folder on the desktop, copy and paste all contents from the yahtzee CD into the folder (everything from the CD). 3. Extract the installer from the zip file you just downloaded, paste it in the folder with yahtzee files, and delete the setup file that was on the disc. 4. Run the installer and it install the game normally |

Wow, that is awesome, thanks for sharing that. I've been looking for a file that will do something like that for years...think you just made 75% of my site obsolete, but thanks! =)
OK, so when you installed the game using the new setup stub, did you install it to the same directory you had the files in originally? Or a different one? Also, if you could just do me one more favor -- if you could paste the contents of your yahtzee.ini file here, that would be a great help.

I installed it an a different location. I used the default installation location from the setup. And here's the ini file contents:
[Setup]
CDID=C:\ProgramFiles\Hasbro\YAHTZEE.ID
[Players]
Player0=Player One
Player1=Player Two
Player2=No Player
Player3=No Player
[Yahtzee]
showAdvice=1
cdMusic=0
noMusic=0
loopMusic=1
soundEffects=1
scoringHints=1

Looking at the setup line, I think there just needs to be a space put between "Program" and "Files". Program Files folder in Windows is always two separate words.
[Setup]
CDID=C:\ProgramFiles\Hasbro\YAHTZEE.ID
should look like:
[Setup]
CDID=C:\Program Files\Hasbro\YAHTZEE.ID
