i'm trying to get glidos working in win98se with the following games: blood, tomb raider and redguard. i can get all 3 games working with dgvoodoo, but glidos completely eludes me. i've read all the glidos guides i could find online, but i must be missing something so elementary simple that no one ever thinks it's necessary to mention.

i installed the win9x/xp version of glidos 1.61 and configured each game to run in windows mode. to start: the dynamic game.bat file that glidos generates attempts to modify the path to use its default install location (c:\program files\glidos) without using quotes or the 8.3 filename which continually breaks the game launch process. once the path is corrected manually--glidos ultimately fails to launch all 3 games showing an error along the lines of...fatal error: unable to load dll (which normally indicates the absence of glide2x.ovl)

what the hell? what step did i miss? am i supposed to copy any files to the game directory? any glide2x.ovl file i copy there is automatically deleted by glidos on game launch so how the hell am i supposed to if required? i do want to use dosbox mode, but that doesn't work either anyway (with the same error). i just feel stupid at this point.
