I noticed that when the problem occurs the Cd seems to stick, the 'activity light on the CD drive, plusatiing on & off'. I re-installed the program via my Plextor CDRW & it worked fine. I have some subsequent delays, where the text takes time to be entered but it gets there in the end...

I am using W98SE. I tried your sugestion of closing all other programs before i run the game but it hasn't helped.

When i play WC1 or WC2 in Kilrathi Saga i cannot save the games. For example, in WC1, I can go the bunks, click on one & get the box to type my save game name. However, the curser in the box doesn't move & letters that are typed appear very slowly or not at all. The enter key has no...

I've just installed the Kilrathi Saga but in WC1 & WC2 the Wingman controller doesn't work. I get flakey pointing ability on the flight deck but none of the buttons work. When flying, nothing works. I run Windows 98 & Logitec Wingman Extreme (via parallel port). Any ideas?

CoachMark Thanks for the detailed strategy, I'm putting it to good use right now.

Valiant Lt I've put the early suggestions to use with improved results - i last a few minutes longer! In the Simulator flying the Shrike, i can't get the Valiant or the Firestorm T's to lock onto to the kat corvette's. I have even used the invunerabilty cheat to get closer (I.E 4...

Ebay & WC I've just come back to playing WC & have found & purchased all the WC games from Ebay, although not living in the USA. I have never had any problems with Ebay purchases & you will find that most of the sellers of WC items are WC fans or shops who seem to be trustworthy & have lots...

I have no use for a sound card other than WC games: Privateer Gold, Kilrthi Saga & Prophecy. I can get a SB16 PnP locally or a SB AWE64 on Ebay...any good? Given my setup, what card would you recommend?

Update Helo Johnl12 The Vesa drivers work fine & the games looks OK now, Thanx That just leaves the sound. I dowloaded the SB64basic.exe but it would not install. The error message said "You are running Windows 95. The program is for DOS & Windows 3.1" I downloaded a couple of...

There are a couple of other 'slow down' programs that can be downloaded from the Moby games site. Also, Moslo is available in serveral versions, the download version commonly available being the basic. I'm told the 'paid for' versions cost just a few dollars & are much better.

I just started playing Prophecy having come back to the WC series after 9 years. I'm spending most of my time in the Simulator but i cant' work out how to get near Capital ships. For example, in the Shrike, i can handle the fighters but get zapped by the heavier ships. The heavy...

! Hi Johnl12 I was amazed to read your last post! I do apologize if i seem ungrateful or have upset you. I came to this site for assistance, knowing almost nothing about Pirvateer & not much more about PC's. Although other members have offered assistance i stuck with you because of...

Hi Johnl12 My sound card is a Creative SB Vibra 128. The sound drivers load whether in C:\sound or on my D: The problem is the dirver reports that it "can't find a PCI sound card". I don't have the 'cloaking.exe' file on my PC. My Privateer Gold runs with the "no sound' option so...

Adjustments made. Contents of C:\Windows\dosstart.bat is:- "d:\LOGITECH\MOUSE.EXE" __________________________________ AUTOXEC.BAT SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\SOUND; SET TEMP=C:\TEMP SET TMP=C:\TEMP PROMPT $p$g REM --------Sound Card SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1...

To Johnl12 One more thought. The last part of the instuctions that are on the webpages for the PCI64, state "put a file named MPXPLAY.INI in the directory where your 'MPXPLAY' execuatable is located." I haven't done this as there is no MPXPLAY of any type on my PC.

To Johnl12 I'll post my 'Dosstart.bat' later when i get back home. John, why does it make a difference which drive the mouse is installed on & loads from, as it works Ok in my DOS enviroment at the moment? (I haven't looked for 'cloaking.exe') yet. I must admit i installed the PCI64...

Story so far... Johnl12, My dosstart.bat only contains a mouse driver, nothing else. I have downloaded & installed PCI64.zip but the driver can't find the PCI Sound card on boot up & so doesn't load. I have modified the lastdrive letter to F ( the same as My computer).

To Johnl12 Hello My hard disk is partitioned into C: & D:. Windows is on C: & everything else is on D: I'm not familriar with dosstart.bat so i'll take a look at it today. My bootdisk came from www.bootdisk.com & i've modified it somewhat to get 600K of DOS Memory. My two CD's are...

Thanks for the note Holr

Some Success but........ Dear Johnl12 I have seen that you are a busy man on this site so i've tried to work on it myself. Here's where i am so far: The Mouse, CD, Keyboard & Memory are OK MY SYSTEM is: W98SE AMDK7 650mhz 128mb RAM Matrox G200 SB Vibra128 (PCI) Logitech...
