I too am having problems with the demo. When I try to execute it, a
dos box pops into win95 and says that the program can't be run in dos
mode??? Winzip says it is an archive it does not recognize. Anybody
else have this problem? Anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this,
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edward
I'm having the same problem. I tried the following to no avail:
1) Copied the mscart.exe file to the \windows\temp folder
2) Reinstalled DirectX 5
3) Install from the internet as well as save it to hard drive first
4) Copied the mscart.exe to the root directory of the windows 95 partition
5) Download the file again to check for corruption
I did get the game to work in Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 though.
However I'm getting a message that the game could not find the direct sound
driver and is using software emulation which cause the sound to be very
choppy. I have the latest driver from Intel for the sound since the
motherboard is made by them. I have the following hardwares/software:
Dell Dimension XPS H266 w/ 512K L2, 32MB Intel FX chipset
On board Yamaha OPL3 with wave
Matrox Millenium PCI w/ 4 MB
Windows 95 OSR2.1 w/ DirectX 5
Windows NT 4.0 w/ Service Pack 3.0
Could someone help me out with either OSes to run the demo?
BTW, I also tried it on a Compaq Deskpro w/ Pentium 166 and the same thing
happens when I tried to install it under Windows 95.
Thanks in advance.
ok, sorry for bugging everyone:) i figured out why the installer
was failing, and why several other installers i had were failing
too. i nuked everything in my windows/temp dir, and several of those
files were read-only, so i guess some installers were trying to
create files of the same name and couldn't overwrite the old ones,
and thus failed.
another interesting little tip to add to the bag of tricks:
clean out the temp dir often.
time to race!:)
ps: i accidentally posted this reply to the wrong thread
before... duh!
ok I dumped everything in the windows temp file but I still get the
message " This program cannot run in dos mode" in a dos bow in
windows??? This message pops up every time I try to execute it in
windows. Anybody have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Edward
