I hope you are more of a challenge than the last five! (or something like that)

Hmmhh...well maybe I should just forget trying to get my sound to work and go ahead and play with subtitles. I need to get the whole story on Blair and Marshall. Oh, and sorry if I offended anyone about the movie thing. I personally enjoyed the movie. I just thought it took a lot of...

Hmmhh...I was thinking of Maniac's not-so-flattering comments in the Prophecy manual, as well as the general competiveness throughout the games. You'll have to bear with me, though, as I have not yet played 3 and 4. I have read the novels, of course, but they always leave things out. And I...

That's freaky! Maybe there's a hidden program inside WC2 and you have stumbled upon it. Or your computer has the Nephilim virus. Quite nasty.

I hope you will pardon a mediocre pilot (who likes to play on the easy level), but exactly what changes at higher levels of difficulty (in Prophecy, for example)? Do the enemy ships take more hits? I just love taking out small enemy ships with a single missile hit! It would seem a shame for...

Yeah, I remember that Maniac mission (well, you didn't actually fly it, but it was part of the storyline). I guess it shows how desperate Confed was for good pilots, that they didn't ditch Maniac. As far as wingmen go, in WC1 all they seemed good for was keeping enemy fighters off my back so I...

I think the "other country" rumors are true, as I have been to one other country (Canada) and too many people claim that other countries exist. As far as WC goes, there are always numerous WC auctions on ebay.com. I personally bought WC2 and WC3 on eBay, and am trying for WC4. Seems like it's...

I feel as if I've been mocked! Thanks for the info, though, especially on the whole Rapier thing. Plus, I haven't seen the movie for a while, so I forgot the whole Paladin flying thing. Also, I've only seen one episode of Academy, and from the books I've read, Maniac and Blair seemed more...

Oh, and another thing, when I restart in MS-DOS mode, it shows my sound card being initialized (I guess that's the right word), as well as my mouse. So, I gather from this that DOS at least recognizes my sound card (and, as I said before, it will play the MIDI sound).

Well, the fact that it's a 400 isn't the bad thing, it's the whole eMachine thing. Oh well, it was cheap. To be honest, I would love to have an old DOS-only Pentium with a decent (but not too fast) processor speed. Perhaps that would help some of my gaming woes. So, even though my DOS game...

I'm one of the 30,000! Actually, I think Starlancer was a fun game, and had some big improvements over Prophecy in the combat portion, but without a decent story, it just isn't as cool. Maybe Freelancer will be better?

What do you mean they're fine now? The cards are? I still haven't defragged yet, so maybe that will help, but we'll see. As I have said, the game does acknowledge my sound card for a while, so at least it knows the card is there.

Well, to help things, I'll go ahead and list my system configuration (just don't laugh). It's a Celeron 400 (by eMachines) with 128 MB Ram, a Crystal SoundFusion sound card and a Voodoo5 5500 PCI video card. There's more, of course, but I think that's the important stuff. I did scandisk...

I guess I kind of saw the movie as being an alternate reality from the games. I mean, Paladin's not a fighter pilot in the movie, Blair and Marshall (Maniac) are the best of friends, and the Kilrathi don't look right at all. Also, the ships look nothing like they do in the games. In fact, I...

hmmhh...that's weird. Well, I'll try scandisking and defraging my hard drive. Hopefully something will work. As far as the error goes, in Windows, I get the exception 13 error, but in DOS, the videos just cut out after about a second (and there's no sound for the speaking at all).

I see, makes sense. That's why it's nice being a lowly cadet. You don't even have a picture (of course, with these tech support questions, I'll reach 2nd Lt. soon enough). Anyway, back to the issue at hand. I tried installing the game in Windows, setting the sound to theoretically work...

Some dark secret?

Ummhh...I don't have a decent total, as I have only played WC1, WC2, Privateer, Armada, and Prophecy (and Secret Ops). I do own WC3, and am in the midst of trying to get sound to work. I am also trying to get WC4, which still seems fairly common on auction sites. In short, I can't remember...

Oh, and in something completely unrelated, why did people have weird pictures under their names for the last few days? Some sort of April Fools thing? Everything seems normal now.

No, I don't have the DOS drivers, and I'm not sure where to get them either. I'm sure that would help, though. I should note, though, that I was able to test the MIDI sound in DOS, so something is being detected. I should also note that ever since I was able to get the game to install and run...
