If you can get it at least to install under Win7 x64, try my fix for it. You need MS ACT 5.x or 6.0 to be able to apply the fix.

If it's a nvidia issue, the best bet is using nvidiainspector and creating a custom profile for the game, messing around with the options.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I can raise the specs slightly. What if we increase the requirement from DOS to Win95c? The Max-Pack version of Carmageddon has a Win95 version for 3dfx cards. Is there a D3D wrapper which will work with Win95c and DX6? It's not a Win95 version for 3dfx, just the …

Megamax X might have a problem with your Matrox card. Updating the card BIOS might fix it, if you haven't. Lethal Weapon might not be compatible with your mouse driver. Try an alternate one. I wouldn't rely on Univbe as it made all my past systems hang while playing any game.
Re: Upgrading a 2008 machine
Posted on 2014-11-20, 12:42
I upgraded my system from a Q6600 to a Q9650 to max it out. Some games which are badly programmed took some advantage of the new processor. Another noticeable performance gain was on DOS Box. Things also load a little faster because the Q9650 got more cache memory than the Q6600. With a good cooling …

Older drivers won't make much difference in Win7. Try the flags "ForceAnsiWindowProc" and "ForceAnsiGetDisplayNameOf".

The border issues are usually related to Anti-Aliasing. Running the game without AA might fix it. If the borders you mention are the window borders, the flag "ForceKeepFocus" in ACT might fix it.

It'll work under Ubuntu if running inside WINE.

If it's for Windows, it'll not run under DOS Box, unless you have Windows installed inside it.
Re: Star Wars Episode 1 Racer - 2 problems beyond two cursors

This game is buggy as hell. I have it installed on my powermac and I have to load my key setup everytime I run the game. It always starts up with everything unassigned. I never had to do that on the demo.

I was playing with Shadows Of The Empire last night. Got it running on my Win8.1 64bit machine (Nvidia 980 graphics so no glitches it seems*) by using the guide here: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Shadows_of_the_Empire#Installing_on_modern_versions_of_Windows (note: if you install less …

So, it's worth to try the fix for the wrapper.

Nevertheless that's what the application does. It might be still running in a fake full screen mode.

Try creating a fix for dxwnd.exe using the same flag. However, since dxwnd forces the game to run in windowed mode, it might not work and the developer will probably have to implement mouse capture for the desired effect.
Re: Star Wars Episode 1 Racer - two cursors

Download MS ACT 5.x or 6.0 and create a fix for the game with the flag "HideCursor". Run Compatibility Administrator (and not Compatibility Manager), click on the button "Fix" and follow the instructions.

You'll have to select which game directory is located glide2x.dll first and then change the settings.
