Actually only nocd works in win98, you still need to have FMV folder in c:\tombraid I guess Glidos should take a look at this nocd nofmv patch ;)

That's why i suggested Alcohol 120% which makes cd letters changing very easy. But you still can change your cd drive letter in Control Panel ->Administration Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management (translating from other language win version so it might be a bit different) I have made a …

I think you could just make an image of the cd by WinISO or any other virtual cd program, and mount the image in Alcohol 120% or any other cd image mounting program. The result will be that virtual cd will be placed on your HDD and will work fast (thought you will still have to skip movies).

It would also help in the load times, as it's now taking ages for Glidos to load the external textures, which means there is a white screen for several seconds between selecting 'Load game' and actually seeing anything... The level loads almost immediately on my duron 1400, geforce fx5200. That may …

Actually there is a way. You just need a game with setup that checks your processor speed. (Rebel Assault 2 for example) So you can speed up or slow down dosbox to the speed you want.

I would also like to add that the reason why some people see the new forum as better or worse is that it looks good in 1024x768 and above, while in 800x600 (I use this resolution) all threads titles are being displayed in 3 lines so it is difficult to read them. The solution for this would be …

I think you could try installing standard 101/102 keyboard drivers and check whether it works. It may happen that you won't be able to use additonal keyboard functions, but main buttons would work.. just a guess.. and you can also try switching to US language and US keyboard in regional settings.
