Problem with win2k and santa cruz

pugnex

I seem to have a sound problem with win2k and my santa cruz sound card. This is a random problem, but every so often, whether I'm playing a game or a cd sometimes the computer will lock up and the sound will start skipping and I must do a hard restart.

Discworld 2, SVGA and mouse problem

36 degrees

I try to run Discworld 2 on WinNT, but there's this problem: the mouse is stuck in the upper half of the screen and i can't reach anything in the bottom half. There's no such problem with other DOS games, so i thought it might be because of the SuperVGA.
