Problem with Descent 2

Admiral LSD
I'm having this problem with Descent 2 whereby whenever I go to play regardless of what resolution I choose (I want to be able to play in 640x480 but the problem occurs on the other 2 as well) it always defaults to 320x240.

Hidden and Dangerous - XPLOSIV!

KMxRetro
Hi all, First post here! Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the XPLOSIV version of Hidden and Dangerous running on Windows 2000? I can't seem to get it working properly. All is well until I choose my men and weapons, at which point it locks totally.

Ok I have played Homeworld on win2k before and no problems. I also have been playing it fine until this one point in the game. I have defeated the fleet that destroyed my planet and the scaffold, which i think is the 2nd part of the great wastelands.

I have Voodoo 4, AGP, with latest XP drivers that were given at Windows update when I installed XP. I can get into game fine. Problem is the graphics are horrible. Nothing is clear except for the area directly surrounding my character.

Mouseware - Input locking up

ParaDoX
I'm having problems with sticky-keys when using Mouseware in XP. I'm using a Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical, and when I press all the buttons at the same time when I'm gaming one of the buttons lock up, got to release it and activate it again to free it up.
