Hi Descent 1 works perfectly on my computer, but for some reason Descent 2 crashes at the installation screen, when it tests for playback speed (whatever that means). Happened on DosBox 0.74 and 0.73 Any ideas?

OK, I got the problem solved. Apparently, my CD-ROM drive was mounted as drive E, but for an unknown reason the MK games assume that my CD-ROM drive is D, even though the game was installed from E.

What are CVS? And yes, I tweaked with the cycles/frames alot - It's a no go.

I chose a regular Sound Blaster. I tried it both on a Pentium 3 500MHZ (with XP, ofcourse) and also on a Pentium 4 2.4GHZ (also XP). They both had the same "symptoms". Do you really mean it worked absolutely fine and smooth for you?

Please! I always wanted to finish this game but I can't get to run it on my Windows XP. I've tried everything (that I know of)! VDMSound, DosBox, and a couple of more tricks I thought I knew....
