sorry..probably a stupid question, but is it possible to run the incredible machine 3 on the windows xp,
thanx

Incredible Machine 3 is a Windows game so Dosbox is useless, unless you install Windows in Dosbox and then try to run Incredible Machine 3. But I think that will be really slow.

Are you interested in selling your contraptions collection? Or do you know any store in UK that still stocks them?

I downloaded The Incredible machine 3 on my computer (windows xp) from underdogs. When I opened up the setup to install it, I got this message, "This system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Then I click close and the whole program shuts down. What else can I do to make this game work?

[dosraider]

Allright,seems to be some people confused here,so here we go:

The incredible machine 3 is a WINDOWS prog,native W95,if your computer runs on W95/W98 :no problem may occur,if there is a problem,it's your pc.I have try'd it on win98SE AND XP,it's running FINE and SMOOTLY.In heaven's name read the tdujam.nfo file!!!!!

FOR XP USERS:(and the install part for W9X)
1)Unzip the whole bunch to a "X:\whatever" dir,X:\TIM3(?)be sure to select ALL FILES in your unzipper.(the X is the drive you want)
2)If you want you can burn all the files to a cdr and run it from there,but the easy way is to let the X:\TIM3 dir on your HD.
3)Look for setup.exe in TIM3,run it,it will ask for a hardware test-->>NO.
you get a warning:DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE INSTALL?-->>YES
next:LARGE OR SMALL INSTALL?-->>choose SMALL
next: files in c:sierra\TIMWIN?-->>here you can choose the drive to install
next : is this ok?-->>YES
next: REGISTER?-->>NO
next:SIERRA ONLINE?-->>Exit

W9X users have done with it,just run it from start->sierra->TIM
you get a warning fot the 256 colors if your monitor is running higher res,just hit OKAY,the game runs fine on true color 32,(on my pc 19" mon)

For XP users only:
Go to your unzip dir X:\TIM3 (NOT the sierra install dir!!!!!) and
subdir TIMWIN, so: X:\TIM3\TIMWIN
look for TIMWIN.EXE,rightclick on it-->properties-->>set compability to windows 95,set 256 colors, and <APPLY>

So you done ,go to start-->sierra-->tim.
For the 256COLOR warning see above.

There are some more things you can change yourself but i think reading your posts you better stick to the usual install.

I have the original CD Rom for TIM 3 but when I try to install with windows xp I get integer divide by 0 during setup process and install shuts down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[dosraider]

That doesn't sound good at all.
Divide by zero? No, something is wrong there.
Better download it from Hotu's.

If you want you can burn the hotu version on a CD, and install it from the CD, works fine on my pc.
After install set comp to W95,256 colors.
Or else look at the first pag, explanation is there.

Is there a console called DOS? or how is that related to Sid and Al's Incredible toons? and where can I find Sid and Al's incredible toons to dowload the full version for free?

READ THE TOPIC.

Permit me to laugh my butt off.


YES there was an operating system called DOS(still is, mind you, it's just obsolete) that functioned on PCs.
YES it was related to Sid and Al's Incredible Tunes because Sid and Al's Incredible Tunes was a DOS game, as in, it required DOS to function.
YES you can google for it for yourself!

And YES I has loxd this topic!
