jgoings446670h
I have not been able to use flame weapons in interstate 76 since I stoped using 166MHZ win 95. When I upgraded to a 650MHz slot a athlon and win 98se flame throweres would act as if I were tapping the button over a hundred times a second.

I've been having this problem and hope someone can give me a proper diagnostic of the issue.

Darkseed: How to get music to play?

dddddara
Hi all! Contrary to the NT Compatible list, Darkseed (the original game) DOES run on XP Sp2 with a few tweaks. I'm using VDMS to start it but the beginning music does not run. Anyone have any advice on what else I could try? I'm running P4 3.
