Okay, so for the past year or two, I've been attempting to get WC3 up and running on my computer. Athlon TBird 1.7, Windows 98, Soundblast Audigy. Before I upgraded, it worked splendidly, no problems at all. When I DID upgrade, it just wouldn't go at all.
I decided today that I would just spend a while trying to figure out why the hell it wouldn't work. It basically came down to the sound configuration, because in the set up, using different settings for the digital sound would either make or break the installation process.
It took me SO long to figure out what the right setting would be, regardless of the settings that the DOS drivers were set at, because apparently that doesn't matter at all in WC3. So anyway, I FINALLY figured out what I needed to set everything at, and for the first time in ages, WC3 ran. It was beautiful. I wept.
And then it crashed.
But it ran, dammit! IT RAN. I don't know why or how, but it ran.
Anyway, when it crashed, it goes to the DOS screen and says the error is more than likely the result of a bad CD read, and to try loading the most recent save game and going from there. Well, would if I could, but since i Haven't played the damn game in ages, I don't HAVE any save games.
SO. Does anyone out there have any save games from WC3, preferably from early on in the game? I don't want to miss much.
Failing that, is there anyone out there who would be willing to make a copy of the first CD of WC3 for me? I know that's a bit much to ask, but I figured I'd try anyway.
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.
