Well after all is said and done...my hdd died 5 days ago. I bought a new one and put XP pro on it, and installed vdms sounds, and redneck rampage is in full swing. All the lovely sounds are emmiting from the game as expected. I put the game in win95 compatibility mode just to try and make it as …

Well that is certainly worth a shot. I will give it a try and let you know how I make out. Thanks!

I did update my sound card drivers, and i also tried a different sound card that said it was soundblaster compatible, and will work w/ old DOS games, but still couldn't get it to work. I am honestly going to get another small HDD from work and put 98 on it, and just create a dual boot machine for …

will do. thanks for all of your help in the meantime!

Yes all that you have written down I am doing. The particular sound card that is in my work pc is a crystal wdm. driver version 6.13.10.4158. It says the driver is from '02, so I am going to find a more up to date one if it exists.

maybe you should tell me what the redneck.cfg file should look like for screen setup. i had (w/out sounds turned on) this in the redneck.cfg: ScreenMode ; - Chained - 0 ; - Vesa 2.0 - 1 ; - Screen Buffered - 2 ; - Tseng optimized - 3 ; - Paradise optimized - 4 ; - S3 optimized - 5 ; - RedBlue Stereo …

Still have the same results happening.

Ok did that, and the game gets to the point of checking music and sound inits for a few seconds, then comes up to a full black screen for a second or two, then takes me to an inactive dos screen that is blank w/ a flashing cursor in the corner.

I accessed that .bat file in windows explorer. I have been trying to run the game by going to the command.com.

Right now I am on my pc at work, and I do not have the full game installed on this pc. I just put the demo on here to see if I could get that to work since my home machine and work machine are similar. Looking at redneck.bat though, (no rampage.bat) there is no section for VDMSounds in it. Here is …

Installed the latest VDMSound. Ran dosdrv from command prompt first, then went to the setup.exe for redneck rampage. Made all of those settings changes that you suggested, and when I test the sounds, it just sits at initializing sound effects. If I just save the settings from the setup and launch RR …

no not referring to the 8 track option at all. just the general sounds that come out of the game.

I have recently purchased Redneck Rampage and attempted to run it on my PC that is running W2K Pro SP4. My sound is integrated into the motherboard and shows up as a CMI8738/C3DX in device manager. I cannot get the sounds to work at all which is a bummer b/c that is the best part of the game. I …
