Thanks for all the input everyone. It gives me some stuff to think about before I buy a motherboard. Thanks again, ozias

Hi all,(not sure if this should be in the Tech Support forum or not, if so I appologize for placing it in the wrong forum.) What motherboard do you recommend? I have a MicroStar board now and was leaning toward the the Soyo K7-VTA Pro, with an AMD XP1800. That board does NOT support DDR...

I will enjoy, it's been years since I've been able to play one of my favorite games...one of the Best All Time Games is what I should say.:) Thanks again, John

I use a Microsoft Sidewinder stick...works in both DOS and Windows. It is an analog joystick. It is also one of the earlier sidewinders, so don't buy a newer one unless it states ANALOG on the outside of the box. I've never had a problem with it. It's only a 2 button stick, but hey...

:D Ghost Thanks a million!!:D It works like a charm, speech and music.....no hissing or popping! I even get to use sound and music. Guess I don't need a new sound card after all. ;)

OK I'll have to log off and give that a try. Hopefully it won't crash, which I haven't had yet, just can't stand the noise from the speech when it acts up. Thanks again for the help....I'll let you know how it works. If it still acts up I guess I will have to go out and buy a SB Live. :)

Thanks Ghost I'll give that a try and see what happens. With your sound, do you have any hissing or pops when someone tries to talk? Do you allow the music to be installed with the speach installed? or Do you just use the speach? John

Ghost Thanks for the reply. Will that line make a big difference for my sound or is it more to free up Conventional memory? John

Hi, I am having trouble getting my sound to work properly in the game. I keep getting hisses and pops during the intro and game play. I have the CD version that includes RF. My config.sys Device=C:\Windows\Himem.sys Devicehigh=C:\Windows\Emm386.exe Ram Dos=High,Umb Buffers=40...

DarkDave Try placing j201 at the end of your Set Blaster command. That is the one to make your joystick work. You can use 200-207, but 201 works for me. Ozias

Viking THANK YOU!!!!!! That program that you linked worked out great for me....I am now back to DX7a. Thanks to everyone who helped me out. Ozias

Kris Thanks for the helpful idea. I will try that out in a few minutes and see what happens. First I'll move my important stuff out of /program files and then remove it. Thanks again Ozias

Kris I am guessing that your telling me by doing it that way I can re-install Win98 with my DX7a version, without losing all of my other programs. I've never thought of doing it that way. Will I run into any problems, such as MS Excel not working anymore? Ozias

Not another version....man I am not going to know what to do!!! lol I am guessing I will probably have to format the old HD and get a clean start with DX7a.....I've never had any problems with that version.

I am not sure why I have problems now. My system never locked up until DX8 was installed. In P2, when I try to land at Hearm the system locks...everytime. I can goto any other place without a problem but not Hearm. I never had this problem before either, I could goto any place and the...
