Use SNDSETUP.EXE to
disable all digital sound effects and MIDI, then start as
normal.

Carmageddon for Windows 95 (CARM95) works natively with DirectX.

Can't get carmageddon to work on windows xp pro

DOS Version. It works, you just need to install VDMSound, which is free, and if you want 3d graphics, you need to get Glidos, but that isn't free (only $10), and the demo has a spinning logo in your view. Network works as well, just need to install IPX and NETBEUI protocols for your network device, and an option in the VDMSound options for Low-Level Network support. however I have not yet been able to get Glidos to work with Networking, so I still play network w/o 3d graphics =)

Get a "unable to setup direct draw- please check that directx is installed" error in vista. i assume that it needs an older directx which vista does not support anymore.

so much for backwards compatibility, good going microsoft ......
