Hey all,
I know this was a problem in the past with .70 and earlier, but I thought it had been fixed with .74, and I bring a slightly new twist:
Installed the game fine, setup ran fine, set it to sound blaster with all correct settings, and SVGA mode 800x600 (even changing Windows resolution so the screen won't be "cut off" since Windows doesn't like small resolutions). Try to run the game, and it hangs after the graphics loader (where it's supposed to show 3d Realms logo, I get black screen forever).
Tried multiple different sound cards, and nothing. Tried all the different graphics options, and nothing.
Then I decided not to set my cd rom drive, and lo (wang) and behold (his wang), the game loads, albeit with no music of course. All different graphics settings and available sound cards work perfectly, too. When I tried remounting the cdrom and running it again, I once again got the cdrom of death.
So what's the problem, and how do I get it not to freeze when it tries to load the music from the cd? I can play it fine, sure, but I'd like the music again to have the complete package.
Thanks in advance!
Doxbos setup: default options, no mods, mount c c:\DOS, mount d d:\ -t cdrom
