Hi,

I have the CD version of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, and I seem to have a problem with the graphics. Whenever I move the mouse, the screen gets filled with thin, quickly moving, horizontal lines (as if it's redrawing too quickly). These lines all but disappear during static screens or when the mouse is not moving.

I am using a Dell 8100 laptop with a Geforce2Go card.

Any ideas as to how to fix this annoyance?

Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried both Dosbox 0.61 and VDMSound (latest) before I even posted. Dosbox is able to run it, but the graphics don't show up at all! I hear the sounds though.

Ideas?

Can you give me the settings you used in dosbox that allowed you to play callahan?

the game runs slow, you have to speed up your dosbox or be very patient 😉

The problem is, there is sound, I hear it. It goes straight to the beginning. But there is no video at all.

CAN NO ONE HELP?!
