Oki. I got it working very well now :D I just had to set the soundcard to something lower.. I only have an AC`97 onboard soundcard (good enough for me), so it didn't do such a good job at emulating SB16.. it gave a huge brrrrrt-noise ;) I set it to SB1.. and now it works well. I think the addition …

Arg I wished it worked.. but it doesn't :( I did everything on your list slavishly.. what it does now, is that it immediately quits to the desktop as soon as I try to run dw2.bat with vdms.. so it has had no change at all here.. I tried to rem the 2 vesa-lines: rem vbeplus.exe rem univbe.exe now it …

Actually, I've solved all and any problems I had by moving my P75 downstairs.. borrowed an ES1868 from a friend, and games work flawlessly on it :) I think I'll continue to use it for dos games.. and let the win2k computer be used for 3d graphics and new games instead. "To know a thing well, know …

I used univbe yes. And tried uvconfig.. Yeah the irq settings confuse me.. but this is how I think it works: The physical PCI card uses IRQ 7, while the SB 16 _emulation_ uses IRQ 5. If any devices are running on IRQ 5, I'd have to enable "reserve IRQ 5 for Legacy" in the bios. Here's a quote from a …

I just tried uninstalling and installing the floppy, it's just as mad.. Hehe.. it even makes sounds when I press "submit reply" on this forum 😜 I've disabled the floppy in windows for now.. if I need it I'll just enable it again, because it still works even though it's a bit mad.

Yes there is a uvconfig.exe , not that I am proficient in using it.. A strange error/bug har occurred in windows2000 btw.. Heres what happens. I reboot to play in DOS, so I change the settings in bios to disable LPT1 and set IRQ5 as legacy.. and turn off PnP. Some of the dos games work fine. When …

Wee.. I finally got Lost Vikings 2 to run! Perfectly! :D Snover, I've had VDMS for a long time now, and as with a lot of other games, LV2 doesn't run in it.. I'm using a Dos bootdisk. Solution: I had to: Disable LPT1/Parallel port to free IRQ 7.. then I had to set IRQ 5 Legacy to "Yes" (in order for …

Yes, you're absolutely right.. Win2k has grouped both my network-cards and my soundcard (3 cards) to IRQ 9 :) But I've removed the redundant network card now.. to minimize the complexity. Gotta keep it simple. Disabling the LPT is a good idea, it does indeed use IRQ 7 , and I don't really print that …

Thanks for the great help Nicht Sehr Gut :) I'm going to move the files from the bootdisk to d: and choose d:,c: in the bios.. as you said.. maybe it'll work better from an HDD Also, when I said that the ACPI overrides the IRQ and sets it as 9, I meant the IRQ seen in Windows2000 Device Manager.. I …

Yay, good news. I got vesa 2.0 to work in dos using a univbe that came with the techw0rm bootdisk. Scitech DD 5.1 First time ever! I'm starting to think the sound problem has something to do with the motherboard and PCI IRQ/PnP settings of my bios.. because I just learned that the very common dos …

LOL.. no.. I run proper DOS 6.22 on a bootdisk :) Btw, Stiletto, I tried the SBPCI.. it came up with this message when booting: autoexec.bat runs sbinit.exe : Self-Configuring PCI Resources ... error: Could not configure SB PCI IRQ PCI driver not loading. then I tried sblegacy.exe : Sound Blaster …

Ooooh... Thank you SO much for your excellent help, sir! 😁

Sorry Nicht Sehr Gut, Here it is :) "Even if I tried running it in dos, I don't have any dos drivers for my soundcard.. not on http://www.creative.com support pages.. nowhere! And I certainly dont get vesa to work in true dos!" My soundcard has no obvious dos support. but the prospect of the dos …

I previously stated that getting the soundcard to work in DOS is impossible without having soundcard drivers for DOS. And vesa isn't properly supported for my gfx-card in dos either.. All this sums up to the fact that dual-booting win2k/dos on my computer would be a waste of energy. And LostVikings2 …

Hehe.. if Dosfreak would post univbe.exe , that would've been better help than none.. :) Regarding TLV2.. Even if I tried running it in dos, I don't have any dos drivers for my soundcard.. not on http://www.creative.com support pages.. nowhere! And I certainly dont get vesa to work in true dos! …

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I really appreciate what you guys are doing :) Working hard to get old dos gems to run, even if you fail, you dont give up. Anyway, I've come here in the search for help regarding the topic. I have an AMD T-bird 700mhz, Geforce2mx, A7V VIA KT133A. I'm trying to run some of …
