Not long time ago I activated XP through Self Service for Mobile (microsoft.gointeract.io) website, I can't find working link right now, but you should get one sent by SMS while using phone activation.

The game has a mouse trail issues in menus when the game is played with dgVoodoo2 on Software mode. If I use DxWnd to run the game the mouse trail is fixed but the performance isn't adequate. So I want to pair dgVoodoo2 with DxWnd but it comes up with an error and the game crashes. I created a log …

The problem has been detected: DxWnd has a 80 character path limit and it won't look for music in any path beyond this limit. The fix is to use a path below characters, my path worked at 77 characters(probably because the inverted commas to denote the path took 2 more characters and 1 more is taken …

The obvious question would be, does DxWnd work at all? Do DirectX hooks work? (obviously you don't necessarily want to enable them all the time, just to test if DxWnd can interact with the application at all). It interacts with the application. The game uses libogg.dll, libvorbis.dll etc and the …

One more thing: Take a look in the folder where you have Dxwnd.exe. If there is a winmm.dll wrapper file in that same folder remove it. There was a mistake in one of the Dxwnd releases where the wrapper was distributed in the root folder together with dxwnd.exe. Dxwnd builds 2.05.57 - 2.05.59 came …
