Found out how to fix Hidden & Dangerous sound!

nirv

Hey guys, I found out how to fix the audio skipping in Hidden & Dangerous in Windows 2000. If you get sound skipping, go to C:\Program Files\directx\ and click DxDiag. Go to the sound tab and drag the slider from FULL ACCELERATION to either Basic or No Acceleration and you will no longer get skipping.

When trying to run some DOS games in Win2k, I get a message along the lines of VESA Driver required. Mainly Duke3D and Privateer2. . . is there anyway to get this working or is this just a limitation I will have to live with? All the Best ~Skyphox.
