RA2 on NT 4.0

BubbaB4U
Can anyone tell me whether or not Command and Conquor Red Alert 2 works on NT 4. 0? I can't get the origional RA to work on it, and I've heard that as long as you have 3. 0 or better RA2 will work. But I don't want to invest in it before I find out.

Xwing Vs Tie Fighter

pmilbrodt
Hi Having problems with Xvt on Win2K. Found somewhere that you need to run z_XVT__. exe instead of the normal XWINGTIE. exe. When I do so, I get a black screen, then the mouse cursor flashes in the upper left corner for a split-second, and then 2 seconds later, I'm back at the desktop.

Has anyone gotten the above game to run successfully in W2K? If so, how? The compatibility guide lists it two or three times, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. I'd love some hints. .

Help w 16bit Install on NT4.0

jkelly
Apologies for asking such a dated question. I am attempting to install Baldur's Gate 1 on a WinNT 4. 0 (6a) machine. I saw that it was listed as being compatible on NTcompatible. com's list. Attempting to run the install from either the game's launcher or using the setup.

Massive prob with new card

D.F. Angel
I have a gf2 mx and I've used drivers 6. 34, 6. 47, & 7. 17 and I still get flickering in my games. Vsync is off and so is antialias, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I also have another problem with my tv-out,whenever I use the refresh rate fix, it screws out my config and I can't use my tv-out anymore.
