Yeah, I'm not sure NOLFB should be part of the package. There's so many variables involved in getting it working. I don't recommend it.

Well I tried changing "fixPOPF = 1" to 0, but that seems to have no effect. I'm starting to suspect that all of my audio problems are related to the CMI8738 chip on my cheapo sound card. Even on the Win98 side I seem to missing audio half the time.

UPDATE: That was a mistake. Changing to zero actually causes the "Non-GUI" Run with VDMS to lock up. That should've been obvious to me. Changing it back to 1 leaves me with a perfectly operational "Run with VDMS", but the GUI version still hangs.

As far as I can tell this is a "POPF-games-on-XP" exclusive issue.

Well it's just fine for me, but I imagine GF4 and and some ATI people may have "issues" with it.
