Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe crashes oddly.

Tom-boy

I've gotten this game just now and until now everything A-OK. Maybe some poor mouse movements occasionally but allegedly that's just the way it is. Now, in a mission2/campaign 4 the game simply refuses to co-operate=crashes.

Grand Prix 4 multiplayer LAN game over VPN

freddy

Does anyone know if this is possible, and how? You cant play GP4 over the internet but it supports LAN network play. Ive got a VPN router, which all works fabulously when my mate connects to me. But when either one of us trys to host or join a network game in GP4 no sessions show.

I have installed DirectX 8. 0a on my laptop running Windows 2000. I am running an application that requires DirectX. When run, it actually runs Direct Player 6. 0 but a message saying This program needs at least 3MB of virtual memory to run.

Achtung Spitfire / Over the Reich (XP??)

gouch

I reinstalled these games the other night as I had a hankering to play them again. But, alas, since upgrading to XP, when clicking the game it complains about not being able to detect the CD. Both games act the same.

Soundblaster on DOS games.

Spectre630

Just for shits and giggles I tried to play an old DOS game the other day and it detected my soundblaster but I couldn't get any sound. I had heard that WinXP was supposed to have native SB support in the DOS emulator instead of having to use VDMSound.

Medal Of Honor and NT

bisone1

How is it that everyone here is saying Medal of Honor will run under NT, when MOH needs directx 8 or greater to run? I have recently tried to install the demo and it will not let me past the directx 8 install.

X-com ufo defence

Bosch571

Hi X-com sometimes crashes in tactical mode, this always happens at the same time e. g. when a soldier stands on the door of the landings craft, he can walk over it without a problem and going up a lift also crashes the game, and there are more ways to crash a game.
