Haven't replaced anything in those folders. The 2 copies I own give the same error. I'll run a system check to see if anything's missing, but up to now it's the only game that has been installed properly and is not working at all. I'm suspecting it's a video codec that might be causing this, since …

Anything else I should try? I had to set my display resolution in Windows 7 (64-bit btw) to 16-bit High Colour. It is a nusiance to do so manually each time you want to play the game. I also had to install the d3drm.dll from PCGamingWiki (Direct3D Retained Mode). This is exactly what I'm doing …

Thanks, I didn't know about those builds. Simearth works great with the latest one.

Before Rawcopy, Locksmith and Nevlock I used DAP and Crock. Good times. Some of them contain real bad cracks, you start playing and half-way get hit by a nice dos-prompt, or you fall through floors, that happened to me while playing flashback. Wizardry 7 helps you with zero damage in melee battles, …

As in the 1.4 patch for USNF97? I'm referring to Fighters Anthology, patched to 1.02. The crashes aren't guaranteed but have happened during or on completion of some quick custom missions. Whoops, I read it wrong. Regarding FA, try using my fix. You'll need MS ACT 5.x or 6.x to use it. I actually …

Just found another bug. Simearth for Win3.x crashes as soon as you select "New Planet" with Music enabled.

Hello All, Glad the info may be helpful Gerwin & Damson . What you said about the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) makes sense - it struck me the same way a just few days after I posted my first workaround. Building on that idea and using some instructions I had for fixing Need for Speed II …

Just tried it and it has the same problems SC2000 for Win95 has, it crashes when saving or loading cities on Win7. IIRC someone here made a patch for SC2000. Same fix is needed for SCW95.

How does WineVDM hold up when compared to Boxed Wine? I was really excited for bxw but after finally testing it last night, I was sorely disappointed in its userfriendliness. Is WineVDM easier to use? Windows shell and context-menu integration would be the dream! Just rightclick and chose "run with …

Some games have stuttering/latency problems when running on single core/processor/thread affinity. I was just wondering if someone found a workaround for that as mine only works for certain games.

I know that many of us are working on it and it's possible in some games (all the Jane's series) by using the Shrinker flag in ACT. But is there a fix that could work for most games that require it?
