Snover: Yes, yes... I-war Defience isn't in there - not as far as I have noticed. Schadenfreude: I dl'ed the latest one from the sourceforge site... 0.9 alpha, isn't it? About SCUMMVM: Yes, I know - I am already an avid fan and user of said engine... It Simply Rocks. As for the X-coms, I had those …

I have now tried OpenGlide. It works - sort of. I get graphics, and the game doesn't crash... but it will only run in windowed mode (as in, I can't get it to switch to fullscreen at all), and the graphical glitches are horrible. It'd be nice to find something within ACT to "disable DirectDraw …

have, as of yet, been completely unsuccessful in my attempts to uncover any error message. There is no log file (that I know of), and NO simple message boxes. I get a black screen, then a grey screen with the correct cross-shaped cursor, and then it's out. And that happens REALLY fast.

There's only one word for it: Darn.

I have tried the compebility modes in XP ('95, '98, and so on...) I can't seem to find an "emulate DX-something" in the ACT, either... I've tried both DX9 and 9a... And I recall it didn't work in dx8, either...

I stumbled upon quite a mysterious error the other day... I am a big fan of I-war (Independence War), although I have never seemed to have the time to pley it... Anyways: I own both the original I-war and the I-war: Defience edition (the one that supports 3d-cards and includes the Defiance addon). I …

No probs, it got fixed with patch 1.3

OK, this game refuses to start, because it says it needs DirectX 6.1 or higher... But i'm running it in WinXP and that comes with DirectX 8.1! This is annoying...

Oh, nevermind. I just found a fix: One needs to go to Compability in the Properties tab of cstorm.exe and make sure that 256 colours is activated... Very disturbing...

OK, I know that not many ppl like this game, but I do! I have problems getting it work in Windows XP. I'll post the screenshot of the error message with this post. Is this because I use DirectX8 (comes with WinXP) and the game wants to use DirectX2? I'd really appreciate any help you could give me, …

I couldn't get the .bat file to work correctly... So instead I ran cmd.exe with VDMsound... This is the result... Sorry it's in Swedish...

I've disabled DPMI and EMS... Still the same problem (requires 590 k)

...this is when I run Dreamweb with VDMsound:

Nope, none. I was, until a few minutes ago, using a desktop replacement named Aston. I just changed back to plain Explorer, closed down just about everything... And still nothing. This is my screen when I run mem/c under cmd.exe or command.com:

I've tried VDMsound, latest download. Still Not Enough Conventional Memory. And I wasn't trying to make exact version reflections, I wanted only to speak of the extreme similarities between 95, 98, and ME.

I have a problem here... I am a Windows XP user. Don't flame me 'cause of this, I use XP since '95 is bad, '98 is '95 1.01, ME is '98 1.5 and 2000 doesn't have nearly enough support for the things I want to do... *cough* Seems like I went a bit off-topic. I am a great fan of the old game Dreamweb. …
