I'm still having problems getting War of the Worlds to run.
I've downloaded the patch and the game now *tries* to start at least, but it's bombing out with three alert boxes saying;
DDERR_NOCOOPERATIVELEVELSET
then,
Create surface Failed
and finally,
LoadShadesTables: Invalid colour depth
The readme mentions a "DDERR - Out of Memory. Unable to create surfaces." problem and suggests closing all other applications to create more space in memory, but I've tried that (and I have 1GB of memory) with no joy.
I also tried running it on my old Win98 PC (without the patch, obviously) but I get the same problem.
Annoyingly, I played the game before (a couple of years ago) on my girlfriends crappy old laptop without any problems! Typical!
Anyone out there encountered this and solved it?
Thanks a lot.
