Hello all, I am a total newbie to driving games, but I would like to try one. My problem is that the free ones that I have (which have been included with one video card or another) only work in Win 95/98.

TheSims and Windows 2000 locks up

Dredd

I keep locking up when I am playing TheSims. I have applied the new patch hoping that would fix the issue, but it has not. The amount of time I am playing the game till it locks is inconsistent. I am using the default Win2k drivers for my Diamond Viper V550.

Install SoF and say goodbye to OpenGL

Nidhogg

I installed SoF yesterday as administrator. Now I can't play any OpenGl game (Q3A, SoF) or even OpenGL screensavers. I get something like 3 fps when I should get 75 and that is only if it works at all.

NT4: Sim3000, SMAC Planetary Pack, Creatures 3???

jarno

Does someone know if these games run in Win NT4? 1. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack (includes the expansion pack): In it says that Alpha Centauri should work in NT4, but in the box of AC Planetary Pack it states that NT and Win2000 are not supported.

Weird Problem With Multiplayer Motocross Madness

bennea

While Motocross Madness runs fine under W2K - there is an odd problem if you try to join or host a game on the zone. It does not appear to get any multiplayer info (e. g. IP addresses etc from other players) and starts in single player mode.
