Need For Speed In OS/2

Help anyone?

Need For Speed looks quite entertainingly fun.

Can't get it to run from OS/2.....think it might be a video settings
problem since the screen never displays anything after the DOS
initiation sequence.

Anyone running it? What settings for the DOS session?

Cheers!

It is.

I can get it to run, BUT because of the crappy joystick drivers for OS/2, it's unplayable.  The opening selection screen constantly jumps from selection to selection. Finally recalibrated and it still didn't help.  Try upping the XMS and DPI settings. It ran just fine for me, but I have 32 mb. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Someone else gave me some good advice about the joystick, turning it off
in menus.

I can't get it running - could you post me your settings, etc please -
I've got 16Mb so hopefully all will be fine eventually!

Cheers!

Don't use OS/2.

         OS      1
 OS/2 = ---- =  --- = 1/2 an Operating System.
         2       2

Use MS-DOS or Windows 95. You'll be fine then. ;-)

Merry Xmas!
Clive.
