svankmaj

Dear all, I bought King's Quest VIII and installed it under windows 2000. The game runs swell (aside from random freezes), but I cannot load any of my saved games. Every time I select the load command from the main menu, I am thrown back to Windows.

Making APCOMPAT actually work?

Down8

OK,I'm trying to install Studio Pro, but it's an older version, so it just checks to see if the system is an NT system, then quits with an error that Windows NT is incompatible with this program. I know this program will work in Win2K, so I tried APCOMPAT.

WIN2K + games at startup

Metalheart

Hi , I heard somebody tell me , you're possible to play all the possible games you played on win98 even on win2k. The only thing you have to do is at startup , type in something and run it. . . . I don't know if it's true , but I would greatly believe it.

Hi Guys, I noticed something very strange. With a clean reboot, I can play games perfectly. Though if I log off and start a game, a blue screen of death comes up with IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. This happens with Nvidia beta drivers (7x,11x,12x) but the official 6.

Full Acceleration Direct Sound Works on older games after SP

Krieghund

I am a long time fan of Total Annihilation and some other older games but have been hampered by sound problems with the SBlive Platinum. In particular if you have your DirectSound acceleration turned all the way up you could lose sounds or sound quality in these older games.
