MDK 2: Stuck mid-game twice so far

nwnz

Effectively FPS goes down to 0. 2. Happened once at level 3 after the professor got the atomic toaster and into the elevator. Had to use cheat to skip level. Level 4 it happened again after the alien stage show.

Advice from Win2K vets, please

riordan

I really want to move to Win2K at home, but being an Intel flunky at work(you know how that is), I am loathe to 'try' it on my Athlon. I have heard the horror stories associated with KT133 and Win2K.

Once I upgraded to win2k I could no longer play High Heat 2001. It doesn't list windows 2000 as an eligible platform (windows 95/98). It installs and tells me that it probably wont work but I continue anyway.

VESA on W2K

X-AL

One of the last game-compatibility hurdles for W2K seems to be VESA for Dos-SVGA-games (sound and VGA are no problem). I tried tryvesa, but it didn´t work for me. Is there another program or a workaround for VESA on W2K?.

Dos program, not full screen = frozen ?

Tavis

I'm using NT 4. 0 and I was wondering if there was a way to run a Dos program NOT fullscreen and not have it become frozen. I'm trying to run ZSNES in a window and would like to know if I can do this.
