I just joined, so I apologize if this is redundant. I'm running GK1 in DOS on a Pentium 3-1000 that runs under Windows ME. Card is a Sound Blaster Live; Direct X is 8.0; video card is an nvidia TNT2. The game originally played without problems on my old Pentium 75 with Windows 95. It has had the following problem on one other faster computer whose specs I don't know. Problem is, it loads fine under DOS and plays UNTIL day (I think) 5. You're trying to get into Mosley's office with his key but can't do it with the other cops around. The trick was to get the beignet (doughnut) vendor to come back so the cops would clear out and buy doughnuts. While they are gone, you sneak into the office. OK, my problem is, the animation icon is now staying up for so long that there's no time to click on anything to get Gabe into Mosley's office; the animation icon effectively stays up the whole time the cops are leaving the station one by one, then they immediately start coming back, so the animation icon is off for maybe 1/10th of a second. At no time between your previous location and the start of the animation do you have time to switch to the key icon or any of the icons that would let you into the area from which you would access the door. Can someone help me? I'm disinclined to think it's an OS error because the game is working well up to this point, and this is two different computers it's glitched on (sorry I don't know the specs on the other one; best guess is a Pentium II with Windows 9x). Please help me before I lose my mind and pass my insanity on to the next generation, who badly wants to get past day 5. OK to email or copy directly to me at caros@aros.net
