In Windows 2000 you must run CLI2NOP. Get it in Deep Thought.

Considering that's one of the steps, I suspect there are other issues.

Actually, what he described sounds more like what happens you use Cli2Nop with the "aggressive" option.

Might try setting both sound effects and music to "none/no sound card" and see if it's still happening. If so, I'm betting his EXE was "overhacked" and needs replacing.

Well, changing music/FX settings to none does not prevent game from crashing. What do you recommend me to do in that case?

Sounds like Cli2Nop hosed your exe. Replace it with your backup (you did make a backup right?) Then start over with the "silent" test. Set it to 320x200 resolution and be sure to run it without VDMSound.

I have the same issue, almost. I can run the game without sound using vdmsound, and if i choose GMIDI for music and nothign for sound FX. However if i choose any soundblaster and any setting, (that corresponds to VDMsound) then it crashes/ freezes at the menu screen.
Any thoughts?

Already gave a thought, use CLI2NOP!

I have tried everything. even updated VDMSound, it didn't work. then i tried CLI2NOP, still the game works fine without sound but crashes within 5 seconds even in demos. Please help me out. I even tried installing win98 but because of my sound cards works with IRQ11, it didn't work either.

oh yeah! where's the caleb guy? i guess he can help me better. If there's no other way to run blood under win2k atleast tell me how to make it run under Dos. with irq11? any idea??

Whaaa? IRQs 3-11 were supported in 95% of games, IIRC.

yea but it says "please select IRQ7 or lower"

Search the forum for BLOOD. You'll find all the answers that ye seek.

yea i've already wasted much time there.. only nuts... that's what they got. there is no one who can check out things and tell u the right solutions.. like u ppl do... out there.. are only visitors like me... who got probs.. they find something interesting and write up their notes.. that's what i think.

I've also used dosbox... but it jerks.. and doesn't let me play fine. any suggestions?

http://netstruck.com/buildxp/ solutions wont work on Win2K users since it's only for win Xp OS

You can't use a BUILD port to play Blood! Monolith modified the engine a lot. Also, nice bad link.
