How Do I Increase Buffers in XP??

Xavier211
I am trying to get STTNG: A Final Unity to install, and it refuses because it says I have 40 Files and 0 Buffers. It requires at least 20 Files and 20 Buffers. I edited my config. sys file to say Files=40 and Buffers=40, no go, in fact, what I do to the config file has no impact on the amount of files/buffers I have.

Blade of Darkness under WinXP...

CarlCX
This may've been asked before; I know Google's cache showed NTCompatible listing the game as fine under WinXP Pro. . . but I run WInXP home. Regardless, my trauma for the day: I was a happy Win98 user, with an affinity for the game.

I am having some trouble getting games using the Build engine (Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage) to run properly. I can configure the sound just fine but regardless of what I do to the config file the game will only run in 320x200 resolution.

Thief gamer
Hi! I'm trying to install FIFA 2002. When the status bar reaches up to a certain limit and it is trying to copy the file dx7z. dll I get a popup asking me if I really want to abort the installation. If I choose no the installation starts over again and the same problem occurs.
