1. anything i can do to minizum the sound skipping in ksagawc3 and wcp? oh any fixes for wc3 crashes?

2. I have wc4 dvd with two sides can i run in dosbox?

3. will sdosbox have any effect on my modern games?
 
Dosbox is only for old dos games. It has no bearing on any modern windows based games whatsoever.

WC4DVD is already the windows version and will not work in dosbox. The original dos CD version will run in dosbox though. There are other ways to run the WC4 DVD just fine in windows though.

Kilrathi saga is also a windows version and will not run in dosbox. Sound skipping in dos WC3 in dosbox can be alleviated by switching to dynamic core and increasing the cycles. With the Kilrathi saga version you can experiment by adjusting your directx sound acceleration settings.

Sound skipping in WCp can be alleviated by applying the sound skipping patch in the CICs files secton

Once you install WC4DVD you need to set the compatability mode of the game exe to either win95 or 98. Right-click the icon and select properties and then the compatability tab. You will probably need a patch for the video after though.
 
unzip this one http://download.wcnews.com/files/wing4/dxmci10.zip into your wc4 directory. It *should* do the trick for the video. If you get no sound but a picture you will probably need to search for and install something like 'ac3filter'. If you get sound and no video, let us know, and I'll give you the links to some of the alternate versions of the dxmci patch.

i got sound no video. correction i had sound before i installed the patch. now i get a entrypoint error message

The entry point error is because you have a later build of the DVD. Download the alternate dll here and overwrite the one in your WC4 directory: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/bin/mpeg2-alt.zip

You get no sound whatsoever thoguh? Or no sound in the videos? Is it crashing during the first video sequence? Can you tell us exactly what the error message said if you continue to get it?

If you continue to get problems check and see that you don't happen to have any cyberlink software installed? Things like powerDVD are knows to conflict with the WC4DVD. If soa, though, you can try to unzip this one to your wc4 directory: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/bin/mpeg2dec.zip then run the register.bat program.

If none of the above help, then try the last version of the dxmci patch by unziping this one: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/bin/mpeg2dec.zip to your WC4 directory as well. Make sure you choose yes if it asks to overwrite any files.
