Day of the Tentacle

Hey I'm wondering how to get this game working in XP. . When I start the. exe I get the menu just as it should be (with the choice to set sound options or play the game). When I choose the Play choice, my screen goes black and the computer stops responding completely, and I have to restart.

Dungeon Siege + 875P Motherboard Issue

jmmijo
Hmm, I seem to have a poser here with my gaming rig. I thought the OS was hosed so I backed up any important data to my server then flatlined the RAID array and reinstalled XP Pro. Well it didn't help in this case I think I may have an issue with one of these parts, the soundcard, an Audigy 2-ZS.

Mechwarrior for XP

I have Windows XP and Mechwarrior 3, however they don't like each other. Every time I try to open Mechwarrior 3, it says it performed an error and won't let me even open it. I have the V1. 2 patch from the official website.

Sidewinder Help

iqbalsiraj
I have an Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad, the gameport one, and bought a USB to Gameport adapter, so I thought it would work on my new PC. Turns out it doesnt, and the Sidewinder doesnt have any drivers for it to run on XP.
