I forgot all about this! How things have changed in 18 months! I didnt bother playing much following the time I got it working. It just wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered it being. All these posts have triggered an influx of emails so I was quite confused initially haha.

Well after my last post I copied the file you gave me into the directory where the game installed through GOG. This then launched through DxWnd! But the game itself won't load outside of DxWnd which I'm not sure if you can help with? Either way thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. As for the game itself... I definitely remembered this through Rose tinted glasses haha. Not as good as I remember it being 20+ years ago!!

Ok so since I last replied I bought and installed the legitimate version and I'm still encountering the same problem. I've changed the path to that of the one that game directly from the GOG installation and it no longer shows a thumbnail for it in DxWnd. I've attached the new exe file to it. Just so I'm clear (sorry you have to dumb this down so much).. I'm renaming the one from GOG ".orig" and the one you attached to an earlier post I'm putting into the game folder itself?

So I click run from the dwxnd window. It comes up with the logo on a video and then it goes black and stays that way until I click the black window and it closes.
-
It just goes to a black screen with that file included in the folder. I have enabled logs, I will attach one to the next post.

Thank you again for that. So I think that may have helped as now it shows as an icon down the bottom on my start bar but it only comes up with a black screen. I left it for a couple of minutes and then clicked on the black screen but it just closes. Making progress I guess haha! Edit - I should probably mention it comes up with an error message saying it can't find DPstub.exe. Do you know what that means?

Thank you. Now it's saying I'm missing Storm.dll haha. I feel like this is going to be a long day! Do you happen to know all the .dll file types that are in/should be in the game folder?
-
I did it to the original version which I had and it didn't launch. I did it to the version you kindly attached and it says I'm missing smackw32.DLL. I'll have a look at the help part shortly.

Thank you for the swift reply. My emails didn't alert me to the fact you responded otherwise I could've tried a few hours ago! To add a bit of a complication to the mix I've actually dug out an old laptop and restored it to factory settings (due to an unrelated fault) meaning it's on Windows 8.1 but it's still the same issue. In answer to your question (and I hope this doesn't mean your help ends here!) I downloaded it through a torrent but I do believe it's the GOG version. I've followed the instructions...

To add a bit of a complication to the mix I've actually dug out an old laptop and restored it to factory settings (due to an unrelated fault) meaning it's on Windows 8.1 now. I've followed the instructions as far as update the game path to match my settings.. how do I do that please?

Hi all, I was directed here by an admin so hope you could help me please? I've been trying to get LOMSE to work on my Windows 10 laptop but it just seems to crash before i open it. It comes up with a black screen and after about 4-5 seconds it closes. I've tried doing it in compatibility mode for earlier versions of windows but no luck. I've also tried ticking legacy play too. I've also downloaded a June 2010 Direct X (or something along those lines) but no matter what I do it wont work. Can anyone...
