Hello,

I am trying to run TR1 using Glidos on win 98 but seem lost. In the Glidos page, the link for the instructions for Win 9x is broken. Also I was unable to find a thread related to this here. Could some one please help with the steps to run this game on Win 98? Thanks.

The Win 9x instructions are back now. I can't guarantee they will help, but worth a go. Later versions of Glidos weren't tested on 98.

This Wayback Machine page has the Version 1.29 Glidos download for Win9x:

That's a thought. Also, https://download.glidos.net has all versions from 1.32 onwards.

Thank you all. I downloaded the 1.29 version and it worked perfectly for TR and TR UB. However for UB alone, I was getting a spinning Glidos logo right from the start. So I proceeded to install the unlock code for the Glidos ID using the free account provided. After installing the 4 liner keys, restarted Glidos. Then when I proceeded to run TR/UB, I was getting blue screens as below despite the game being set to run in full screen:

After pressing Esc, the game exits abruptly. Please let me know how to fix this error. Thanks.

Given how unlocking works, it's fairly unlikely that it is the cause. Try to find something else that has changed. If nothing else works, it may be worth uninstalling everything and starting from scratch.
