Locks up with Deus EX and Ground Control :(

JSB
Got locks up with these 2 games. For Deus Ex, when the EIDOS logo cinematic comes up my system suddenly freezes and I have no other choice than to reboot. For Ground Control, it freezes as soon as the menu comes up.

Ive got 2 machines on a peer-to-peer network, one running win2kpro, and the other win98. When arriving at the multiplayer menu in Red Alert - on the win2kpro pc - I dont get the 'network' option, which the manual blames on faulty/absent ipx drivers.

Commandos - B.E.L. on NT4

emokid_2235
Apparently, you can play Commandos - Behind Enemy Lines on Windows NT4 if you copy the cd on to your hard drive, and run the commando. exe from there. The only problem is that you can't save during the missions.
