I am trying to install The Bard's Tale game. The game will not install on the
hard drive. Would like to know what I have to do to get it installed.

As posted in the previous post have you tried the usuall stuff IE running
as administrator and using compatibility mode, turning off UAC ?
 
I installed Windows Media Player Series 9, Directx 9, did the compatibility
for Windows xp and it still will not work.

Contact the game maker, see if they support Vista or have any
troubleshooting tips?

I assume you're running the new "Bard's Tale" right, and not the old one
from the 80s?
 
It is the one for 2005.

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.
 
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.
