pyshum Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 In the spirit of waiting for the new Leisure Suit Larry game, I've decided to step into memory lane.... I am having difficulties installing Leisure Suit Larry 7. Firstly, I get the same error. Secondly, when ditched the autoplay and double cliked on SIERW5.EXE (which is the actual install program), I get this "Error Opening resource 10000.snd" Anyone know what the heck that means or a fix around? (yes, i'm running XP with SP2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
