First, thanks to all who have written on the windows2k, vdms, vdmslauncher, nolfb, and cli2nop. Reading and implementing these has gotten redneck rampage starting, with sound and video on my windows2k sp4, pentium M 1.4 computer. Now, my problem is that the game randomly crashes within the first 30 seconds to 2 minutes of the game. When it crashes, I exit to a dos window which says "Inactive-vdms launcher". I have tried disabling my auto-protect on my virus protection. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
