Running Daggerfall on WinXP, 2000, et. al

A lot of people seem to have problems running daggerfall under the
aforementioned systems, but I have been lucky enough to find a
solution. It took me a little tweaking to get the sound running
right, but I finally got it to work like *almost* new.

First, go to http://www.gamershell.com/download_581.shtml and grab the
installer program. It installs Daggerfall (use C:\dagger) but the CD
is still required to play. Next, toy around with the VDM sound
program that's provided with the file, then reboot. If needed, play
some more with the config files and whatnot to get everything running
smoothly.

I decided to post to this newsgroup for two reasons:
1. I need a copy of slow.com or some other DOS slower so my mouse
clicks aren't read 5000 times.
2. This community looks dead, it shouldn't be so for one of if not the
greatest RPG ever created.

Did VDM work for you? On my system, that batch you have to run
always froze.
