    yakitori, that "compatible" Soundblaster Pro by Creative. means nothing. Every sound card has this. You need to ID your sound card (make/model). How did you buy your PC? What it's make/model? (Compaq, emachine, ect..) There are PC's that are design to only work in windows. They have sound...

    WCP in Win2000

    Disable sound accelleration. If you have a SBLive card with LW3 drivers you are out of like. There are compartiblity issues between LW3 and DirectX 8.x which CL has never fix. CL has release XP update drivers for XP, but I doubt it fix those issues.

    yakitori, you didn't state what sound card you have. If you can't find the dosstart.bat that o'kay. Happy, wrong about the dosstart.bat. Win9x will only create this file if it's have DOS drivers that can be place in it. No DOS drivers, no dosstart.bat. This is becoming more common. Cheap PCs...

    WCP in Win2000

    Did you use the compartiblity mode and set it to Win98? Read this link if you don't know how to enable it. I would also suggest change the Directx to. Try 6.0 or 7.1 version. http://www.ntcompatible.com/faq.php?op=ShowFaq&myfaq=yes&id_cat=2&faq_id=17&categories=Windows%202000

    Haltie, you lied. Here what that error messade means. Error Messages "1303-FFFF" or any message ending in FFFF" Try making a boot disk to run the game. After you have made the boot disk, run the game and see if the error appears again. If you have created the boot disk to the...

    Privateer, yet again......

    Yes and No, P1 can run on a WinME system but only with a Win9x rescuse disk. You'll need to run the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE from the a: drive. WinME doesn't have these files. WinME was design not to support DOS. There are user made DOS patches available on the net for ME. If you go into a...

    P1 only uses two buttons. Any cheap joystick which supports DOS should work.

    Privateer (the first one) problems..... plz help.

    Haltie, does your sound card now works? You believe it's because of removing the CD-ROM? If this is the case then two or more programs were trying to excees the same memory address at the same time. Now there is a work around for this too. Using MS "memmaker". It's a old DOS program that MS made...

    Haltie, I am only going to give you the instruction to run P1 without a CD. From the CD copy *.tre files to c:\privater. Now in the c:\privater edit the priv.cfg and the rf.cfg files with notepad and change them to =c:priv.tre and =c:rf.tre. Now you can place the REM command in front of the...
