So, I installed TR1 with glidos and VDMsound about a week ago. I purchased glidos to get rid of that horrible spinning logo, and was happy with the results until yesterday. I've been having problems yesterday and today with the game freezing during the menus, especially after saving. the specifics are thus:
#1- hit escape, the menu comes up, and i can only use the left and right arrow keys to scroll around the item menu, nothing else. up and down don't work, enter doesn't work, escape doesn't work.
#2- hit escape, hit down, save game, hit escape to return to game, menu shrinks but doesn't disappear all the way from the screen, instead it freezes as all the icons become a little jumbled mass in the middle of the screen. when the game is restarted, the save file is corrupt (savegame4.31 or somesuch)
#3- just started about half an hour ago, open glidos, click start game, DOS window pops up and goes partway through loading and then just stops
#4- replaced number 3 after two repetitions, open glidos, click start game, nothing happens at all. nothing. at all.
i can provide more details if necessary, although i'll go ahead and list off anything i can think of now:
windows XP home, sp2
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 3800+, 2.0 GHz
1 GB of ram
NVIDIA geForce 6150 LE integrated graphics chipset
NO errors listed in error console
checked for spyware/adware/viruses on a daily basis
if i'm leaving out any important details, just ask, i'll be hanging around the forum for the next few days, waiting for an answer...
EDIT: This Page details the specs of my computer, for the most part. as far as the selectable items, i have the integrated graphics and audio (planning to upgrade as soon as i can afford it), and i think the rest is detailed earlier in the post.
as far as glidos settings, it's set to OpenGL, 1024x768, Full Screen, using Texture Pack "Silverlok", and i've tried both turning on and turning off VDos32 (after it quit loading, so it didn't seem to change anything). Hope that covers everything![/url]
