Unfortunately there is no such setting available for this card and system. It might not be so bad, except that the enemy ships are hard to see and the screen is darker than its usual darkness in SO. I'm beginning to think that a built-in Intel chip is the only decent video card out there. :(

I have been checking out a friend's Dell 8200 with this 64MB video card built in, and the graphics in these games are really inferior to my 3 1/2 year old system! The gun reticle is poorly drawn, the white plus sign nav point does not appear, there is no gun sight for the stormfire, the edges...

Hi all. My movies in WC3 DOS play back squashed into the upper 1/2 of the screen with this new, problem-laden video card I've gotten. I have just reinstalled windows, caused mostly by problems with this card, and it took me over 3 hours to install WC3 DOS the last time I did it. I'd hate to...

I'm certainly no expert, but you might need to make sure that you have DOS sound card and CD ROM drivers installed in autoexec.bat and config.sys. You can then make a boot disk and run the game that way, although, as others have said, running under windoze should work. Also, make a shortcut to...

I have the same problem with my 400 Celeron, and disabling sound card acceleration does not cure it--just makes it worse. I recommend you try two things. First, unless you run 640 x 480 normally, you can hit alt+enter during the movies of WC3-KS and window them in a smaller display. This, on...

Hi all. I just purchased the Verto NVidia GeForce4 mx 420 PCI 64MB video card. I got this instead of the Radeon 7500 64MB card, because one of the salesmen said that the sdram in it would be more compatible with my sdram in my 3 year old celeron than the ddram in the Radeon. Anyone know of...

Thanks, but what does that mean, no Glide. How do I get "Glide", what is it? Thanks.

I'm ready to get a video card for my PC and am looking at the Radeon 7500, 64MB PCI card. Anyone know if this card is compatible with WC Prophecy & Secret Ops, as well as WCIV, P2 and UE?. Anyone know if there are problems with this card, or know of a better PCI card? Thanks.:)

I taped it and just watched it. He was more or less OK - a better acting job than he did in Prophecy IMHO. His part was nowhere near as extensive, of course, but he appears to be improving as an actor.

If you are referring to Prophecy or Secret Ops, you are told in the Missions section of the CIC how to do it. For SO, download sosim.zip, and either or both of sosim1ua and sosim1ub. Unzip sosim into your so\mission directory. Ua and ub change where you click to get into the newly-created SO...

I have sosim.zip and sosim1ub.zip, which puts the sim in the rotating "globe" instead of the killboard. I also have sosim1ua.zip, putting the sim in the exit door. I have never been able to get missions 8 and 9 to work, so I substitute other fan-made missions in there. By the way, has anyone...

Doesn't Origin/EA offer replacement disks for a small fee? Call them at the # in your Prophecy docs and see. However, last I knew, on Ebay the WCIII standard dos version was pretty cheap. I got mine a while back for around $12 with shipping. I got all kinds of problems with the video...

Hi Pierre. If by this you mean the wav files I created to use as taunts, I did that, and the second taunt froze the computer, except for the music. I had to do a forced shutdown. The sotaunt.exe file always has been in my SO directory. I have a theory.....1 or 2 of my taunts are a little...

Hi Pete. The game crashes at about the fourth or fifth use of a taunt. I can usually get a couple in, and then I get "Secret Ops has caused an invalid page fault in Module Secret Ops.exe." The taunts are the same recordings I use with Prophecy with no trouble.

I have never been able to get sotaunt to work with Secret Ops. WCPTaunt works great, but sotaunt.zip and sotaunt02.zip produce the same result - crashes to the desktop with invalid page faults. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

That's incredible! But, how do I slow it down enough to play it??? I'll probably get it anyway. Thanks, Loaf!

My Father gave me Panzer General II 2 weeks ago....It was so bad that I dug out my old Atari 800 manuals and games and used an Atari emulator to play the old Sid Meier wargames from 1985: Cursade in Europe and Conflict in Vietnam. Unfortunately, Decision in the Desert, the best one, doesn't...

The Wing Commander game series is essentially a failure when it comes to joysticks. With the exception of Prophecy/Secret Ops, when they finally got it right, all WC games have joystick problems. Privateer 2 is the worst, but WC 3 and 4 are particularly bad. Both 3 and 4 react the same...

Let me guess.....might that mission have been the second-to-last one, where you have to inspect three escaping ships at a facility and then start destroying a bunch of targets all in an almost impossibly short period of time?? It's been a while since I played that, but that's how I remember it...

Hi all. Gee, I finally get a copy of The Kilrathi Saga from a co-worker and the movie playback is terrible! In fact, WC3 and WC4 windows versions do the same thing: They pop, echo and have interference badly. Unfortunately, it is NOT solved by SOUND CARD ACCELERATION, as is the cure with...
