To prevent a full-screen application from issuing a sequence of instructions that might hang the machine, the SvgaHwIoPortXxx functions monitor the application instruction stream to a driver-determined set of adapter registers. A miniport driver must enable direct access only to I/O ports that are …

Start by download the the latest drivers for your video card (or the International drivers, if you are not running a US English version of Windows). Paul: Why would it be trying to run TOMB?

Do you not get it? We can't just tell you that, we need to know what kind of sound card you have first, at the VERY LEAST.

No, it was just a thought I had. I don't know if I ever actually got far enough in Duke to encounter the problem portion. 😜

...i wanna know if there's something good (like as 4 duke) for shadow warrior. No. There isn't. i have downloaded a shareware version of the game from Kazaa but the sound doesn't work (but the game works very good!!)...........there isn't a SWwin32port??? Again, no, there isn't. And don't expect …

Tried running it in compatibility modes? Complications surrounding newer versions of DirectX are likely the problem.

Okay, I have an important question that may focus the issue a bit: When you run VESA apps in WinNT/2K/XP, does it actually use the video card's on-board VESA support at all ? From what I understand, the NT family doesn't like to let anything access the hardware that directly. Is VESA an exception …

I hate that there isn't really a way to see what the "true-to-life" colours are supposed to be. Especially with all the different damn profiles. What a mess. Mess mess mess mess mess.

Yes, that restores the audio. Still has the drop-to-desktop issues, but I'm starting to think those may not be fixed for a long while (most obvious glitch is the entry near the start of the Area51 level. Dropping down underground, then opening the door is a guaranteed crash). As pointless as it is …

Ensure you are using "MPU-401" instead of "AdLib/SoundBlaster" for the MIDI interface in those games.

I'm fairly certain that the SBLive! drivers did only emulate the 8-bit DMA, which is unfortunate, to be certain, but I think that might be something you have to live with. Of course I've been wrong before, so perhaps not. Hi-DMA should be "5"... pretty much always.

Anyone have a nice, stable GeForce3 (standard or Ti500) with a nice, quiet fan (or no fan at all) that they'd be willing to trade for my monster Ti500 that sounds like a jet engine but that can be massively overclocked? I'd be very appreciative. Send me a message if you're interested.
