YOu could also create a special autoexec.bat file to be able to load games in the command prompt by using it. I had such a file and actually ran WC3 with it on Xp home without dosbox or even VDMS program i now use. Next post i will try and give the layout for such a file which can easily be...

Are you running the computer in win 95 compatibility mode? If you right-click on the execute file (.exe file) and set the XP system to run it in compatibility mode for windows then it may solve that problem.

If you can set up VDMS sound program properly then you can run Wc3 on the command prompt (P.S. usb joysticks work cuz i used one; no gameport on my pc anyway). It runs the game alright with sound running well enough. I don't remember much crashing, a lil freezing maybe but not crashing once i...

Well I never had any problems with the game once i set it to run in low-level mscdex mode or such. It fixed it and i believe i set it to cap dos... option with VDMS program as well. To get to these options you have to custom setup VDMS program with the game. TO do that right-click the games...

I ran WC3 on my XP with some chop with VDMS (Non-KS WC3 version). It just came down to setting up the settings for my computer and to run it in a reallly close DOS simulation. (By the way... You can run WC3 without VDMS but good like wiht the sound. You have to use the command prompt and create...

You need to setup the Win XP command prompt to run properly in a more DOS-like environment for the game installation. To stop hte screen closing on its own you need to go into properties setting for the installation execute file and uncheck the box that says something like auto-close or close...

Mentis if u need any help with the VDMS guide then email me and id be glad to help however i rarely check these forums recently. If anyone needs help then u can contact me or mentis. VDMS is a program primarily for sound however it HELPS to setup the game for running WC 3&4 in command prompt of...

I havent been following the BSG anymore. I kind of prefer the original and that flavor of show. Does anyone have any comments about Star Trek or what has been happening with the cancellation and all?

Are u sure about BF1? I didnt think that it had that at all.

Actually the in-flight for UT04 is a bit tricky because it is very heavy upon the mouse for flight control. BF was too if i remember right however they may up the flight engine for BFII plus it felt odd in UT04. I have both by the way.

Question is would any of us act like that under similar circumstances? I pray that i would not.

Movie quote was meant as sarcasim.

No. However the world HAS turned upside down when and if the Day after Tomorrow occurs. Both literaly and politically. Hurricane Katrina was very bad. This storm could just make that situation worse. The big question though is WHY DO WE AS THE HUMAN RACE LIVE WHEREVER AND PREFERABLY WHERE...

The 6000 Nvidia series is Nvidia's EQUAL to x000 series AtI cards. Ati's 9000 series cards are equal more or less to the Nvidia FX cards. So YEAH OF COURSE A 6600gt card would whoop mine. Its newer and faster. I got the 9600XT for price and future usability. IF you want to compare cards then...

I just checked VDMS. The emulation is for gameport sticks only. I would recommend checking the VDMS troubleshooter and website to see if that helps. Other than that just try debugging the avaliable options cuase i dont use a gameport (or have one) on my XP system. SRRy

I am running a USB joystick and with the software for the stick( Wingman Extreme Digital 3D) have the emulation DISABLED and have throttle and several buttons working 2+ dont remember exactly.

I am using a USB joystick and must run VDMS with all joystik emulation turned off. However that maybe different for a gameport which does work in true DOS. (I know from experiance.)

About Nvidia cards and ATI compare cards that come out together 9600pro and XT processor are NOT the exact same. Xt card is the newer of the two cards. But comparing my 9600 hundred to the latest GeForces is just a crime. Compare x000 series cards to the new GeForces. ATI cards do have driver...

Actually Radeon and Nvidia are about equal HOWEVER Radeon cards i believe have BETTER GRAPHICS where as Nvidia's runs better and is more compatible with games. Radeon has their own shading technology which is similar to Nvidia's i am sure. Ultimately it comes down to Ram, speed, and price. I...
