Hello!
I had Elder Scrolls: Redguard running with Glidos for years on my WinXP machine without problems.
I now installed it to my Vista machine (as expected sound hardware was not recognized during installation).
I installed Glidos 1.53 and then DOSBox for Glidos 1.1.
Problem: I can't get into Redguard, I can only see the start screen of the game.
Steps taken:
- directed Glidos to RGFX.EXE im install folder in Glidos settings "Adjust", "Executable"
- selected DOSbox as "Dos Emulation"
- changed resolution to 1600x1200
- (Full Screen is disabled)
- play disc is in install drive
- tried to change the sound settings as suggested here:
Redguard on Vista x64 (Audio Question)
- read through the instructions for Redguard at the official website
Not sure if I have to tick additional settings for Redguard in the Glidos program?
Also not sure, if I have to choose OpenGL or Direct3D? (but it doesn't change anything in regards to the problem)
When I start the game through the Glidos launcher, DOSbox window appears... and then the start screen of the game, but that is where it ends.
When I right click & close the Glide Server window, it then says "Read failed: 0" with OpenGL or "Read failed: 996" with Direct3D.
