can you give us more information? The game will only run in ms-dos mode, not in a dos window. perhaps you could post your autoexec.bat and config.sys? you can take a look at some other boot disk configurations in other posts. What sound card do you have? sound problems is another issue that...

I'm not sure if you are allowed to create such a patch (does that infringe at all on the original copyright of the game?), but if you did, you would be a friggin' hero, man! If you know how to do such things, then I say go for it! As for winblows 98, you could always install it "over top" of...

I didn't bother with the price check since I already have a copy of the game. If I had any ambition, I suppose I could try to convince them to sell it to me cheap, and then try to make some cash on e-bay. But I'm too lazy to do that. :D

my local toys r us has a new copy of privateer 2 (dos version) for sale. it's only $74.99. what a deal! actually, even though there is shrink wrap on it, it does look to have been opened. i can't understand why games that are a year old are in the $9.99 bin, and that one is still listed at...

didn't freelancer get pushed back to 2002? i think it's slated for late q1 or early q2. other online alternatives (don't know how good they are) are jumpgate, earth and beyond, and (perhaps to a lesser extent, depending on how you feel about it) the upcoming star wars online game. i think...

Happy Hunting!! Styles

yeah, i have the dvd version of the game and a dxr2 card, and wish that i didn't have to put the stupid thing back in my machine. that's the only thing keeping me from playing it. and to think, i used to have the cd version of the game, but i thought i didn't need it anymore, and sold it to my...

creating an autoexec.bat and config.sys is simple enough: in windows, open up notepad and copy any one of the autoexec.bat's found in this board (mine is in the post started by me). then when you save it, save it as "autoexec.bat" (without the quatations, of course). as well, any one of the...

well, shut my mouth, lunatic. you're right! i have cdrwin 3.8b, newest one is 3.8f, guess i'm way behind the times. i wish i had known that a couple of weeks ago... cool. styles

i might be wrong, but i was under the impression that most cd players do not have .mp3 playback abilities.

you need to convert the .mp3 files to .wav files before burning. the vast majority of cd players (both car and home audio) can read/play burnt audio cd's. to convert them, you can use winamp. all you need to do is change the output plug-in to "disk writer", and change the directory for the...

oh geez...nighthawk, you're right! i just saw that now. sorry bahamut! i hope that my mistake didn't take you out of the game for too long. i guess it pays to reread what you type, huh? D'OH! Bahamut: have you had any luck lately? you have been strangely silent......:)

for me, i had to set the option "PNP BIOS" to disable. Not completely sure why this made a difference but it did with me. it may not be the same with yours, but you never know. that option informs the bios if there is a plug-n-play operating system installed (which means, of course, windows...

bahumat, remove the echo off line in the autoexec.bat. sometimes there is a useful piece of info in the error that pops up that is *sometimes* hidden by that command. probably won't help, but you never know... the only thing that looks off with your boot disk (at first glance) is that...

i'm not sure if i can help fix your sound problem, but i can give it a shot. first question: is the soundblaster emulation actually being enabled? it should say at the end of the boot. if it doesn't start, then you may have to go into the bios like i did. if it does start, then there are...
