Can't unzip ToL
Can't unzip ToL
When I get to the Allegro part when I'm unzipping the file, when I click on locale it says error reading keyboard.dat then error reading language.dat
so when I just click on next in the setup it won't unzip the file it will just start the whole process over again.
Help?

It sounds to me like whatever program/tool you are using to open the zip-archive detects the word "Setup" in "Allegro Setup (optional).exe" and executes this file without asking.
It tries to run the setup, but since not all needed .dat-files are actually being extracted into the temporary directories, it doesn't work.
That's why it says "error reading ***.dat" - the file simply was not extracted.
The solution? There has to be an option in the program you are using, for it to ignore the words "setup" and/or "install" so it doesn't automatically execute the file anymore. If there isn't, you may want to consider using something else for handling zip-archives, as this can pose a pretty serious security-risk when handling archives with unknown content.
A quick solution? Don't double-click the .zip-file, right-click it instead. There should be an option to "extract to..." or "unzip to...", which should definitely not run any files, but extract them all instead. Extract them to wherever you will be abe to find them and run "Tales of Lemma 1.exe" to start the game.
Any further questions? Don't hesitate to ask.
Also, let us know if/how things work out.
