Went out and purchased Baldur's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal today, so I thought I would get the game re-installed. All installed, go through the configuration program with the default settings, all is fine, the test screen gives me the 3 coloured boxes showing all is well.

Dual-monitor gaming (ti4200)?

BanditXL
I bought myself a geforce4 ti4200. It's a fine card, but I can't get the dual-monitor thingie to work like I want to. I've seen some screenshots of games support dual-monitor like serious sam 2 and startrek armada 2 (or did I mistake it for Ati's radeon series??), but I can't get it to work like that.

Colin Mcrae 2 not smooth on windows 2000

rgodart
The above game doesn't run smooth in windows 2000. But it's not a frames per second problem, because i get a constant 50 FPS. It's just that at certain times the environment seems to move a little faster (a fraction of a second) and then goes back to normal speed.

I got this message when Intalling: The system does not meet the minimum processor speed requirements. You will most likely have performance problems running the game, which can be reduced by lowering detail settings in the nwconfig program.
