On Windows XP, whenever I set the game's resolution to 800x600, the game refuses to display at any other refresh rate besides 56.3 hz. I have tried multiple graphics cards (9800 GTX+, 9800 GT, 7600 GT) several different Nvidia driver versions (93.71, 197.45, 296.10, 327.23 are some I remember …

Whoops... What I meant was that I haven't been able to find any other mention of the disc anywhere else other than the one on archive.org, which doesn't really say much about it. I'm curious to know if anyone else has this CD and if they know anything about it.

I have an interesting copy of the AWE64 driver CD. It looks like the one posted here https://archive.org/details/AWE64_ISA_Value_Part_Number_95792 . Like the one linked, it appears to be missing several programs present on other CDs, and is completely missing the Windows 3.1 drivers. Does anyone …

This may be a useful website if you haven't found it already: http://www.lazygamereviews.com/0706milbs/pod/ The installation guide seems to use dgvoodoo instead of nglide, so you may have better luck with that.

I might be wrong, but the only Creative cards to support both 98 and XP are regular PCI (like the sound blaster live and audigy cards)

Yeah, I probably should have asked this in Video in retrospect, so thanks for moving it. The reason I asked this question in the first place is because I'm also interested in what games got Direct3d/3dfx patches as well.

What other games are there besides Tomb Raider and Quake that were launched without 3D accelerator support, but then had it added later with a patch?

Ok, I think I may have found another issue. The Gravis PC Gamepad has two switches on it, one on the top and one on the bottom of the controller. Try switching them both to the left. Many DOS games are not able to use controllers with more than two buttons, so this may be all you need.

I believe that the DOS drivers have to be installed before the joystick port will work. These can be found on the original cd, which can be found on vogonsdrivers.com (I'm not sure of your card's model number, so I can't link them directly). The patches on Creative's site do not have the pure dos …

Wow, Thanks for finding this! I agree, they really should release a patch fixing this, or at least making a redirect. It really does seem like they want people to buy the remasters.
