I just had the same problem, but I emailed origin and got the following answer which did work for me. Create a shortcut on your desktop from the CD (disc 1)with the file setup.exe. Then, with this new shortcut, go to propreties and compatibility and make it run under win98 compatibility. This...

hi people, I'm running on a amd athlon 1700+ 1.47 ghz with 512 megs of ram. I'm also running on xp professional edition. My video card is a MS Starforce Geoforce 4 Ti 4200 series (NVidia Geoforce 4 Ti 4200 128 mb). I am able to install wcp and play it without any problems (sound, movies...

what's up people?:) I've recently re-installed my wc1 (so1-so2) and wc2 games. I took them out of the box I bought them in 10 years ago:) Anyways, as you can probably guessed, and as I should have myself, these games run really really fast . I have a p-3 450 mhz with 128 ram. I've heard...

if these guys were Pilgrims, how did they attain such a high rank in the Confederation? I'm assuming that at this point, Confed-Pilgrim relations weren't at their highest (as illustrated by Gerald's crappy attitude towards Blair). I think it's a bit unrealistic for them to get by almost...

Hey people, I just have a quick question. I was going over a WC timeline on another site and I saw that it listed Captain Sansky from the WC movie (or Inspector Poirot as I like to call him) as a traitor, as well as the base commander in charge of the NavCom A.I. that gets destroyed at the...

hey guys! good news. I finally got sound to work without the need of a bootdisk in priv 1...I just took my sound card cd and copied the dos drivers to my hard drive. That's all it took! I can't believe it was that easy. I feel like such a dolt to not have figured it out earlier. I'm just...

thank you for your reply. The only problem is that I don't have an autoexec or config sys to work with, I just have a command com. I can restart my computer in dos, and by way of a boot disk, but I just can't get the sound to play. But this isn't just with priv1, every other game and app I...

hello again, thank you for the quick response. I'm afraid I might sound dumb again, because I'm not very experienced with modifying and tweaking files. How do you go about doing a pure dos boot? Is there a way to do this in setup after pushing del while booting up? Or is a boot disk...

Hello again people, I haven't gotten any replies from my last post regarding help with sound in Privateer1, and I'm guessing it's because I did not give enough information. I've been reading the other messages to try and get some insights, but I haven't been able to solve my problem as of...

hello all, I just wanted to know if anyone could help me get Priv1 to work in windows 98. I can play it without sound (when I restart in ms-dos mode) but if I try to configure the sound card, I get that d000f-ffff message. I don't have a sound blaster card, but I've previously installed...
