No games working with W2k at all . . .

Speakeasy

I've tried installing Age of Empires 2 and Need for Speed 5, but neither of them will start up on my computer. AOE2 will show a black screen and freeze and NFS5 just shows a black screen for a while and boots me back to my desktop.

Will More RAM Improve Game Performance?

ShoeHornOPlenty

I know that sounds like a silly question cause of course more RAM the better, but does more RAM mean a better frane rate? I was playing the NHL 2001 demo and had the graphics swttings cranked up to the highest but I was experiencing major slow down so I had to move them back down some.

Lightbringer

jaywallen

Hi, Has anyone got Lightbringer to work under W2K? Installs okay, but fails immediately when I try to run it. Nothing listed in the event logs. People who wrote it say that they're surprised it doesn't work under W2K, but that they've never tested it under W2K either.

I can't get Crimson Skies to work on W2K, when I run it it crashes right after the Microsoft logo. Can't seem to find any help from the documents either. The game is supposed to be 100% W2K-compatible.

Starcraft and Montego A3DXstream sound problem

philrg

The sound in starcraft cuts out after a minute of playing time. Just the music remains, no sound effects at all. My sound card is a Montego A3DXstream. I have tried beta drivers but they don't work. Has anyone else had this problem? I emailed Blizzard but they were no help.
