| | Re: The Bard's Tale - the game Yeah, I checked the Sierra website, they have no patches for the PC version of The Bard's Tale, and no support information at all. Exactly what is happening when you try to install? Are you getting any error messages? Only think I can suggest is running in Admin mode, and since the game doesn't seem to have any support for Vista you may not get it working without a little hacking. Good luck, A.

| | Re: The Bard's Tale - the game It was telling me that I needed to install Windows Media Player Series 9. Which I did. I put the disc in the cd-rom drive and the install window would come on. I click on install, the drive would start, but the game would never load.
