This has always worked for.me (desktop/dedicated video.
You can probably skip steps 2 and 3.

Hello,
once you have installed the game correctly and got it running, there are 25 entries in the registry for Links2K3!
.

.
If there are fewer, the game has been installed but does not start yet.
The settings at which Links2K3 runs on a PC depend on many factors.
OS, GPU, onboardGPU, directx, monitor, Windows monitor settings etc.
unfortunately it is a little different for every PC.

I do it in this order - follow these steps in order.

1 Install game Links2K3
2 Install patch Links2k3_107_Final.exe
3 Install patch Links2k3_nvidia_win7_FINAL
4 Only copy or replace RUKSHUK.exe, do not run it!
5 start and pray (afterwards you have to start the game more often)

This is the copy of RuKsHuK.exe (contained in a .zip) that you want to use (replacing the one in your /Links 2003/ directory). It does away with the need to insert a disk in order to run Links2003.
