desktop a mess after fullscreening

Posted on 2011-12-24, 10:07

After running a game fullscreen in DOSBox, I come back to my desktop to find some windows have been moved to a different location on the screen and sometimes their window size has changed. Even windows that had been minimized including my messenger are found unminimized, moved from their regular …

Just got the game running and I'm really lovin it. But I thought I had read somewhere that people still play online? But I'm not seeing any servers come up. It just keeps saying "Connecting to global server..." Am I missing something? I've applied the 1.4 patch..

problem with -ioctl

Posted on 2011-12-23, 15:03

I normally have no need for this command, but the wcnews recommended using it for privateer 2 to prevent some fatal errors. So I mounted the three cd images as normal and added the -ioctl at the end, which causes this message to appear every time: "The image must be on a host or local drive." Why am …

It's the real version. I realize now the explosion is normal. Its been a long time.. The mouse sensitivity is still an issue though. From what I've read, apparently this sluggishness didn't occur in older versions of DOSBox.. Will a joystick behave the same way as the mouse, as far as the …

Couple issues with WC1.. First, Each time I start a new campaign (normal or Secret Missions) my ship suddenly crashes after about 2-3 secs into the mision. In these 2-3 secs, I can control the ship as normal, shoot, etc., then it just explodes out of nowhere. This happens every time no matter what I …

I did try installing in the suggested folder too but still didn't work, and yes the audio tracks will play in a regular cd player. There are actually 3 tracks in all listed in cue but track 1 is game content (not audio). I was thinking the same thing that one track was for intro and the other for …

Well out of the several hundred games I've setup with DOSBox this is the only one that has had this problem, and all were mounted directly. And you might want to check again because the example shown there does say to mount the game folder directly as c: [autoexec] mount C "C:\Users\your-user-name\ …

I did install in DOSBox, I've installed and uninstalled several times, and there are 2 audio tracks listed in the cue. I already knew there are audio tracks, but I want to know if they are only for playing in audio players or are they also supposed to be playing while racing.

I did use imgmount to mount the cue as I said earlier.. here is the complete mounts.. mount c "c:\games\nascar racing" [mount d...] c: nascar -h -f exit Where I typed "mount d..." is where I've tried placing each of the mounts I mentioned in my last post. The -h enables SVGA gfx and -f enables …

nascar racing 2

Odd problem with Nascar Racing 2.. When I attempt to run the game, it says "Unable to find nascar2.exe in ' ' ." .. Or if trying to run setup it says "Unable to find setup.exe in ' ' ." .. On a fresh installation, this message does not come up and the game runs fine, but every time after that, the …

I don't hear any music while playing the game Nascar Racing (Papyrus 94).. I do hear music during the intro and credits, but nowhere else. It's been a long time since I've played this game, but I thought music was supposed to play during menus and racing as well. Plus there is a Music option under …

Thanks, works a charm. I had forgotten to add the label to the mounted cd. Doesn't make sense that they'd add a cd check with the patches when it never had it in the first place.. Anyway thanks again for all your effort in this and making the installer. Greatly appreciated

It looks like it runs fine on a fresh installation, but after patching the problem came up again.. I'm not certain I'm patching correctly.. The first time I installed, I ran all the bats and exes that came with the patches, and when I ran patch.exe I just pressed enter (to exit the patch program) …

Looks like the iv5setup I had downloaded earlier was an old version, the one you posted here did indeed install the right codecs, and the videos display now, thank you.. But there is one last problem.. When installing the game, it installs to c:\sierra\fbpro97 by default. Although it lets you …
