Okay, here's the problem. I'm trying to install Tomb Raider 1 on Windows 2000, or XP and it won't even install anymore. Since using NT based O/S's I have been doing it like THIS RIGHT HERE and it has worked perfectly.
Now all of a sudden on both 2K and XP when I type the part about "E:\>install" it starts to run the DOS4GW stuff and then stops. A trip to the Task Manager to kill the full screen command prompt reveals that NTVDM.EXE has the CPU pegged @ 100%.
Here's the catch. If I go install it on a Win 98 PC then copy the installed files to my 2000 PC and run it with Glidos (runs TR1 in open GL) it runs fine.....but it won't run without Glidos anymore even after doing the manual install.
So, what has changed? Could hardware have something to do with this or do you think one of the Windows Updates (NTVDM.EXE)? Video card VESA modes? I've read a bit about VESA but know nothing.
