Hello everyone,
I believe you have all met the problem running a game on NT system.
I have this old game named S.C.A.R.S it's some kind of drive simulator where you have chance to drive animal style cars...
The problem is that I cannot get it to run on windows xp sp2 pro.
Here is how it goes:
I activate the win98 compatibility mode on the autorun and the setup.exe files on the CD.
When I put the CD in the drive the autorun meny comes up(as it should) the music plays and everything is ok.
I click on Install button and the popup meny comes up with this choices(I can click on and off boxes):
Install SCARS
Install directx for win98
Install directx for win95
Install Indeo Multimedia (requred)
Install 3dfx glide
When I then ticking for installing scars and indeo and click on OK button, going through the indeo installation the setup of the game begins and hangs on 99% until I close the autorun menu( which crashes when closed).
I continue with the installation and the game installes well, then I go to Start-menu and try the shortcut for the game( d3d version and not the 3dfx as I have the 6600 gt card from nvidia)
The game start and I only get the black screen, nothing happens, only black screen. When I switch to the desktop with and open the task manager I can see the game as Running.
I have tried to press Enter and allmost any other buttons...
The compatibility mode for windows 95/98 is activated on the exe file.
What can I do?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
