Ok guys, here's the thing:
As have done lots of other people, I bought Redguard a while ago to complete my elder Scrolls collection. since then I am trying to get it to work.
I was running DosBox under WinXP and got the game to work, but the sound stuttered. so I changed my approach. I installed the thing with a Voodoo2 SLI rig. Still, the sound was an issue I could not resolve.
Now, I set up an old PC with Win98 and a Voodoo3 card. The Voodoo2 cards are sold.
So:
Win98
AMD Athlon 1000
Voodoo 3 3500 TV
400MB RAM
And, as you might guess, it is still not working. I start up Redguard and it simply returns to desktop. I don't have a soundcard installed, but I am quite convinced that the Voodoo is the problem, since I cannot run it even with "no sound". I read some of the posts here regarding Redguard and Voodoo3 cards, but if someone could please link me to an understanable answer or could provide a simple solution to the problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
