Remember, speak 'stupid', Not sure what Catalyst drivers are? What are they for? I got Glidos to work before, so doesn't that mean I have 3D?

ATI Rage 128 Pro. I have seen other posts with problems on ATI cards, however, I think I remember all their problems were resolved...eventually...that is my hope also;)

Don't know specifically which programs might use OpenGL, but I don't have any problems with any programs, other games, CD's or DVD's on my PC. To my knowledge, TR is the only game I have that was meant for DOS and needs the bridge to make the graphics good. I did get a response from ATI about my …

Microsoft advises XP owners to create a restore point and I've heard of at least a couple of people that "lost" the capacity to run DOS games properly after installing DX9. IIRC, both fixed their problems by restoring. [/B] I am not having a problem running TR NOW, until I try to use Glidos. Not …

Now don't freak out on me....no, I didn't create a restore point, but I have several dates right before I downloaded DirectX 9.0, that I can restore my system to, if I have to. So far, I haven't seen any problems, are you suggesting there might be? I thought that might be what you meant by Win9X, …

Paul and Snover, You guys come up with anything I can try? I tried to updated my driver (ATI Rage 128 Pro 6.13.3268 to 6.13.3279) big difference there (sarcasm), but it wouldn't work, did download DirectX9, now instead of getting the screen half white, half black with the error messages, I just get …

What IS Win9x? I can ask my friends. I went to ATI's website, downloaded the updated driver for my card (I had 6.113.3268), which is 6.13.3279, and when I went to install, it said this driver wasn't compatible with my card! I found my DirectX version is 8.1, but I downloaded the newest version of …

It is NFTS...that was easy...once I knew where to look!!! Any other idea on how to install TR clean? Bootable disk? How to access actual DOS?

Snover, I didn't TELL XP to do anything, everything was formatted and ready to go when my PC was delivered to my home. Where would I look for that information to see how it was formatted?

Is this a FAT or FAT32 partition that you are installing it to...? If so, you _might_ be able to come up with a bootdisk that would allow you to run the installer from "real" DOS. Can you translate that into 'stupid' term? I don't know where to check for this partition. In the good old days, when I …

NOLFB bombed

Nicht, Not sure if you'll get this, since you said you won't have access to internet for a while. If anybody else is out there, and understands what we've been trying to do, please feel free to jump in and help. I did what you suggested, and yes I saw NOLFB in mem /c, but when I switched over to the …

Made me laugh....

Snover, you crack me up! Thanks, I needed that! Nicht, I downloaded the NOLFB, upzipped it in the Tombraid directory, and followed the directions. It still acts like my PC crashes, the screen goes blank, looks like my PC is off. I am able to use TM to get out of it easily, shut down Glidos, etc. …

Nicht Sehr Gut, I am sorry, I should have caught that link, but I didn't. Thanks for pointing that out. I told you I am not a computer guru, I know just enough to get by, and just enough to get into trouble, sometimes 😁 I'll try that and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

repeat problem

Paul and Nicht Sehr Gut, I thought I had everything figured out....yeah right. I finally got VDMS working, Glidos was working, everything was great but I had the logo back. Easy fix, right? Requested unlock code again, Paul replied promptly (thanks Paul), and so I tried to start Glidos, I got the …

Same problem

Posted on 2003-03-06, 07:24

Nicht Sehr Gut, I've been conversing with you about the same thing on another thread, in Eddie's Computer....PC. This fellow, has the EXACT same problem as I do. I have different hardware than him, but Windows XP is doing the same thing. The only thing different for me, was my original download of …

I've looked in Systems, Device Manager, nothing there says 'graphics card'. My Dell Dimension is 4300S, I have a Display Adaptor of 32 MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra. Is that it?:o I used the mem/c command, and I didn't see NOLFB.COM. What is that? I haven't heard of that before? Would I have this file on a …

Version of TR

Thank you for helping! You are the first one to really address this issue with me since I started seeking help last October. I have the original plain TR, which I bought in 1997. To my knowledge, it is not a re-release. From C:\prompt, (text on screen is white, with black background), the text …

Not sure how

I understand what you're saying about the game audio disabled now, and the music coming from CD. What I meant by 'going back' was I had uploaded a different version of tomb.exe, an upgraded Glidos, (at least that is what I thought) and a couple of files, I think they were .bat files, that would get …
