Hi guys
I am having a problem getting Unfinished Business running with Glidos

I have an original Tomb Raider Unfinished Business Premier Collection on two CDs.

I Have Glidos 1.53b installed and I installed Tomb Raider from Disk 1

I copied the patch files from Glidos website and when I select Tomb Raider (original) from the list in Glidos the game runs fine

However if I chose Unfinished Business in Glidos and put Disk 2 in (which it asked for) I get an error saying Vdos32 must be unlocked before use

If i close that error and click on Unlock I get a little window saying Idle. I click on 'Unlock over the internet' and I get an error: The server name or address could not be resolved

Normally this retro PC is never connected to the internet. I am temporarily connected via a LAN cable at the moment but as my XP SP2 has Internet Explorer 6 I can't browse the net in any meaningful way. For example I can go to Glidos.net main page and it displays weirdly but readable but many pages just give me a error and say server can not be found - I can't get to firefox or chrome page to install a modern browser for example. I even had to copy and paste the key to a USB drive and use another PC to get the codes to activate Glidos because the activation link won't work in IE6.

So what am I doing wrong? Why will Unfinished Business not work even though Tomb Raider does?

Thanks, that sorted it

Out of interest do you know why the game does not display properly at 1600 x 1200 on my 19" 4:3 monitor?

FFor example on the main menu screen when I select the passport I can flick the pages but the all the options text 'Load Game, Exit game' is missing even though the passport will start the game, but then for example I don't see the energy bar or any other text. It seems to work OK at 1280x1024 though.

best regards

Can you take a pic of your GLIDOS settings? I've found that certain configurations can cause those UI issues. Specifically, I tend to run into the "no healthbar" issue when using NGlide.
