I recently found an X-Com Collection game and I was extatic. I love this game. Actually I only love ufo defence(enemy unknown)and terror from the deep. I have a P3 933 with Windows Millenium and I am having problems.

Monster Truck Madness 2

BlaZeR2
Okay, I know this is an old game, but it is pretty slick to play every now and again. Anyway, I noticed on the compatibility sheets, that someone said it plays fine. SO I tried to install it, and I get an error when trying to install, everytime.

Old DOS Games Needing Sound Drivers, Plz Help!

spacey
I want to play Wacky Wheels, and old DOS racing game by Apogee. Owns Mario Kart. Anyway, it works in Win2K except for the sound, when I run the setup says SoundCard not ready. Probably because I have no drivers really for it since I'm in Windows.

FF7 Minigames

Dajukka
I´m in the spot where you have to go to the Chocobo Race to get out of prison. But the Race minigame won´t work, it does the same that it did in the first battle before I downloaded and installed Whistler App Toolkit 2.

Tribes 2?

Johnrock
Knowing the game itself is fairly buggy, does it work properly under XP? My Win98SE install has played it stable for the most part, but I'm considering the upgrade path to XP. Any info regarding XP and this game would be appreciated, it's pretty much the only one I play these days.

MYTHII problems

fatattack
Does anyone know a solution for installing Myth II on WIndows XP ? It installs and after it says that NT needs SP3 to run properly and then it just uninstalls part of the just installed files automatically !!! This also happened under windows 2000 but you could install the compatibility updates there to get around it.

SMP-enabled NT/2K/XP gamers take note

emerson
I've made my little software widget, , available to the outside world. setaffin will 'wrap' any process you specify with a CPU affinity mask such that it will only use CPU 0. This fixes crash problems with a mess of D3D-enabled games, most specifically, Black&White and Deus Ex.

monitor clicking on and off....

bigcletus
when ever I play games like quake 3 for example, my monitor clicks on and off when switching modes. I dont understand why it does this. I also have winMe installed on the same pc, and it does not do this.

Copy Protection Problems in Win2000

Yarlen
Greetings all, For the past several months as CD-based forms of copy protection (i. e. , SecuROM, SafeDisc) have become an unfortunate industry standard, I've been unable to get any games to run under Windows 2000 Professional (SP1 or 2).
