Hey guys,

I'm running a Dell GX150 small tower with a 5200 FX video card and SB0100 sound card. Everything is working well, but after installing War Wind and War Wind 2, the units are not showing up. War Wind uses Directx2 and War Wind 2 uses DirectX5, both were installed. The dxdiag looks fine. Looking at the readme.txt it says that Nvidia cards aren't listed under the supposed video card, but everything works fine BUT the units and there associated effects. Both of these were installed from CD-ROM as well as I tried a ripped copy from my CD collection from the mid-90s. Every copy the units aren't showing up. I've managed to google a lot of my recent issues and find solutions, but I don't quite know what the issue, I'm guessing it's DirectX or Video Card related.

Does anyone have any idea what I could do? I loved War Wind 2 as a kid. SSI is awesome.

So, I answered my own question, but I don't know if there is a work around.

I swapped the FX 5200 with an old ATI Rage 128 32mb video card and BAM! units are showing up. I understand that the readme.txt doesn't list Nvidia, but are there any ways to make those cards work?

Thanks,
