Oregon Trail 2 Download Windows 10

I've been struggling for the past 3 hours to get this game working without dosbox or a VM, and so far I've managed to work out every kink. The game is working fine, minus one thing: Quicktime The nightmare that is Quicktime has utterly crippled me. Anytime I try to cross a river 'FATAL ERROR: Failed to Register Quicktime Window' hits, and it goes down. If I delete the movies folders, it just stalls out where the movie is supposed to play. Newer verions of Quicktime have no backward compatibility and installing QT32 from the disk works for playing the files, but does not correct the issue. However, since I can get the correct version of Quicktime working, and the game itself is working, I'm sure it's just some hook location looking the wrong place or similar.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Or an alternative for 1998's version of quicktime? Or some small trick that I'm missing, anything. I'm so close I can taste it, it's just Quicktime crippling me. Had this exact same problem. Oregon Trail II would stall when playing a movie on startup, or when crossing a river. Find the file OREGONII.INI in the application directory.

Oregon Trail 5 not compatible with Windows 10 Hi, Recently I decided to go on a nostalgia trip and play Oregon Trail 5. It was made in 2002, but it ran.

Make sure the rsrcpath is an absolute path, including drive letter, and ends with a slash. Example: [cdrom] rsrcpath=C: MECC Oregon Trail II DATA Just a note: as OP mentioned in their own answer, you can skip the QuickTime installation completely. However, if you do this, game will have a black screen during startup (usually there would be a little QuickTime animation with the MECC logo). Game will not freeze, but it will never move past the black startup screen. To continue, the window has to lose focus ( ALT + TAB to another window), return to the game, the theme music will begin to play, and will load the main menu.

I couldn’t reply to the other post, but I thought I would help those out that are trying to run the game without the CD.

Pretty much every game today doesn’t require a CD to play and Oregon Trail is no different. You can play Oregon Trail without the CD which seems to correct a lot of the problems with install and running properly. I’ve created steps as detailed as possible below. Any average computer user should be able to follow these steps, just follow along one step at a time. I’m using quotes to help show what you’re looking for, you do not type the quotes out at any point in this tutorial. Open your hard drive so that you are viewing the root of drive C.

Your desktop icon “My Computer” or “Computer” will take you there. Get to “C: ” or “Local Disk C:” 2. Create a new folder and name it “OT5”. That folder should now have a nice short directory address of C: OT5. Open that new empty folder and leave that window up for now. Start a new window and open the CD folder to view the contents of the Oregon Trail CD.

This will typically be drive “D:” or “E:” on most computers. Do not run setup and do not install the game. You should now be viewing the contents of your CD. Copy the folder called “data” on the CD and put it into your newly made OT5 folder on drive C. This will take a minute or so to copy over.

After the data folder finishes copying to C: OT5, go back and view the contents of your CD again. Open the “Install” folder and then then “HD” folder on the CD. You should see 5 files. Take the entire contents of the “HD” folder and copy it to the C: OT5 folder as well. You should now have 5 files and a data folder in C: OT5.

One of the files is labeled “OREGON5”. Open this file. Notepad should open it for you. Windows 7 free download full.

Look for the brackets that say “[cdrom]” 8. Create a space under the [cdrom] title by hitting the return key - add the text: “rsrcpath=C: ot5 data” 9. This tells the game where to look for the data files. You should now be able to click on the “OT5” icon and run the game properly. No compatibly settings are needed as far as I can tell.
