Screamer 2 hangs

I have a problem with Screamer 2. After winning League 1, there should be an animation of the winner etc., but my screen goes blank (CD keeps playing), nothing happens and I have to reset the computer. I've been playing the game from DOS, because I have a Matrox Millennium, which performs much better in DOS than in Winbugs 95. I tried using UNIVBE (version 5.3), but it didn't help. I also tried to start the computer with less TSRs, no help there either. Game works fine in my friends computer, though. My computer's setup: Pentium 200 MHz Advanced/ML motherboard (bios version 1.00.07DB0) 32 Mbytes EDORAM Matrox Millennium 4Mb (bios version 2.0) Quantum Fireball TM3200A Toshiba XM-5602B CD-ROM drive Sound Blaster AWE 32 PnP -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Ari Koskelin Sometimes, http://www.ratol.fi/~akoskeli enough rocks. _____________________________________________________________________________

It=B4s exactly the same on my, and a friend=B4s computer. I did not find 'milestone' in the net, so I sent a mail to *** Interactive, but I did not get any response...

This apparently is a known problem, I found the patch on their UK BBS (44) 171 468 2022 It may well be on their Web Site too -- Matt Porter
