Alice in Win2k

boobear

I must be the *only* person who's had trouble with this game. I've tried installing it several times, and no matter what I do it just will not work! I had it running on a system with Windows ME on it and that was fine.

Higher FPS in UT

ConQueso

I've changed my monitor to run at 120 Hz in 640x480 (highest safe Hz according to the manual), yet when I run UT at the same resolution, the monitor goes back to 70 hz (as the UT screen image fills the whole screen (I hadn't resized 120 Hz to do so), and as the FPS peak at 70).

joystick issue

ConQueso

Got Mig Alley working in Win2000, with a hitch. It detects my Logitech Wingman Force 3D, in the control screen, where it's bound to flight, rudder, and throttle control. It doesn't allow me to disable it (if that means anything, I don't know).
