The 2006 Collection on Windows 7?

Is the game being a ROYAL pain? Need a hint? Got a problem? This is the place to discuss King's Quest!

The 2006 Collection on Windows 7?

Post by YeOldeSierraFan » Tue Feb 02, 2010 5:16 am

Hey,

How does one get the 2006 KQ to work on Windows 7? I mean, I've gotten the games to run--but they all run with video/graphical errors such as blotches of color all over the screen. How can I get the collection to run normally in Windows 7? Also, any hope of getting KQ7 to run in Windows 7 64bit?

For the Windows version you need to set your color depth down to 256 colors. You can do this from Compatibility mode.
