Ah, well. Thank you immensely for your assistance, patience, and further leads. cheers, Will

Yes, I have a Dell. My video card is an STB Velocity 128 3D AGP(Nvidia 128).

I deleted the directory and reinstalled Privateer using the boot disk. Nothing changed, except that instead of looking at a blank screen, I was treated to colored horizontal lines with occasional flashing characters (followed by a reboot)... any ideas? Will

Okay, I REMed all those lines (including SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT) and added LH C:\Progra~1\MSHard~1\Mouse\mouse.exe. I don't get any error messages before the prompt comes up, but when I start Privateer, the system still reboots. Will

My mouse.exe isn't in C:\MSINPUT\MOUSE, but seems to be in C:\Program Files\MS Hardware\Mouse. C:\DELL doesn't have a USBINFO.EXE in it. C:\CDROM appears to have NEC_BM.SYS. cheers, Will

I'm trying to run the CD-ROM Classics version of Privateer on a Pentium II 300 machine with Windows 98. I can play the game without a boot disk, but I get no sound (I have a TBS Montego soundcard) and can't use my mouse or Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick. Would I likely be able to fix all this...
