I have a GeForce 2 mx400 and WinXP. I tried to use the GliDOS to play the Carmageddon.
When I press Start Game, dos screen appears and then only black screen. Nothing happen. When I installed a new v of Glidos after black screen I recieved a Windows XP Error message!

What's a problem?
I don't use a VDM Sound.

You have to use VDMSound in XP with GliDOS. It's not an option.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Now I used a VDM Sound, but It still crashs! May be it not property working version of Glidos? (1.22)

There could possibl'y be a new bug. Try downloading v1.20. There is no link to v1.20 on my website, but if you use the link to v1.22 and make the natural alteration you can get v1.20

And after that program shows me the message: "Read Failure".

In version 1.22, if the main Glidos app is closed (or crashes) while a DOS game is using it, then you will see this error message. That in itself is not a problem, but the worrying thing is why Glidos is crashing.

I didn't try it. Where can I download it?

Go to download v1.22, but edit the url from 22 to 20. It would be very useful for me to know.

I as well am getting that "Read Failure" message except mine happens when I try to start Tomb Raider. I am downloading version 1.20 as I write, so I will give that a try. Just to give you a heads up that it the message is coming up for more than one user.

Just a heads up on my status. Version 1.20 does the exact same thing as 1.22. Tomb Raider attempts to start, and shows me a screen where half of it is white and the other half black, and then quits to the "Read Failure" message. Any help would be appreciated, but there's no super rush.

Yeah, 1.20 - the same as 1.22. It crashes, but there is no "Read Failure" message.

Okay. Please would you try v1.22, but with the version of Glide2x.dll taken from v1.19?

Thanks for all your suggestions but unfortunately, my Tomb Raider still kicks me out with a "Read Failure" with the Glide2x.dll from 1.19. Perhaps it's something with my graphics card. I'm using an ATI Radeon 7200. Don't know if that helps at all, but there it is anyway. Thanks again!

No, that is good. It suggests that the problem is my fault, not Fabio's. This means I should look for the problem in Glidos, not OpenGLide. Thanks, that is helpful.

Yeh! I have: its broke. A few CVS diffs might tell me what I've done, hopefully.

Still, not half as much as I've broken my web site. Hey, Snover, why does Netscape 4.61 think it undetstands margin-right, but do some real weird stuff and then crash?

And why does Opera stop interpreting javascript as soon as you put a search in the URL?

Because they're crappy, stupid browsers that are even worse than MSIE (well, Opera 7 is arguably better, but even still, it has bad DOM support). Anyone still using Netscape 4 needs to be drug out into the street and shot, anyway.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Ooo. Someone needs a nap. Before Mozilla 1.0 was released, I was still using Netscape 4.73. I'm spreading the word to people I know, but there are still a large number that aren't aware of Mozilla's existence.
