Trying to get Carmageddon to run on XP Pro.
This is what I've doen thus far.
Install VDMsound (latest version)
Install Carmageddon through VDMS (full install, of course)
(tried the 3dfx patch, made no difference in my prob)
If i play the game at this point, all i get is black screen for a few seconds then i get my desktop again, but a bit of teh applicatiOn still runs in bakcground, can't restore or 'brign it to front'.
Then I'm left with an odd, lined display until i restart. 😒
I bust into DOS mode too see if the game gives any error messages, and it does. This is what it says...
"FAILURE : COULD NOT stART DRIVER"
From the wonky display after teh game crashes, I assume this has something to do with my video card (yes i have the latest drivers)
So on I go...
Install GliDOS, latest version.
I installed Carmageddon to the path GliDOS asks, C:\intrplay\carma\, but what's this carmav.exe thing????
I've been playing this game off and on since it was released, and I've NEVER seen or heard of this "carmav.exe" file
do i need some weird version of the game???
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!
Just my luck, too. this if after I jsut got it running well on two friends' computers after 4 years or trying. Arg..
..the game worked jsut great on Win ME..
So if anyone knwos of a possible solution, PLease tell me.
Thanks, in advance.
here's my specs.
Athlon 800
Radeon 9000pro 128ddr
512 ram
AC97 sound
Win XPpro
