Error running Close Combat III on Windows 2000

jethro
Get error message Can't access surface for lock. This happens when clicking next to load the game after making infantry selections. It when the game starts to load the maps, if that makes sense. At least that is what I think it is doing.

Return to castle Wolfenstein = Awesome

Dissident2k1
Just to let you know that Return to castle Wolfenstein is by far the best game I've ever played in my life since I own a PC. Every gamers should go buy it. I give a score of 10 out of 10 for the graphics(yep, GeForce owners will hallucinate) and another one of 10 for the gameplay.

Vampire-Redemption dumps to desktop during area transition..

Zaragon
Right after I said it was working fine, too. It did, up to a certain point. When you get to the point where you leave Prague and go to Vienna, it dumps me to the desktop when I try and exit Prague. I installed it on my other machine (Win95), copied my savegames over, and it worked fine.

Grim Fandango

ejsmith
Trying to get Grim Fandango to work. It will play for about 2 minutes or 6 scene changes before it kicks me out to the desktop. I've tried everything from ACT, to APcompat, Win95 compatible layer, running it plain with SP2 integrated, running the executable directly from the folder.
