qbodsyt, I don't know about your video bomb outs but I did see something in your batch file that tripped me up at first. Here is what you listed earlier: c:\mech2\sapucdex.exe c:\mech2\vdms\dosdrv.exe c:\mech2\MOUSE2KV.EXE 1024 768 8 8 mech2.EXE c:\mech2\nolfb.com c:\mech2\mech2.exe If you look closely you will see that the game is being launched twice. Once in line three and once in line five. The mouse2kv.exe line doesn't just set the mouse window, it launches the game with those parameters. I had similar symptoms as you described until I did away with the second launch. Here is my batch file that I run with VDMSOUND: nolfb.com sapucdex.exe MOUSE2KV.EXE 1024 768 8 8 mech2.EXE The only problems I seem to have is that the game does not recognize my middle mouse button and no CD audio. However the problem may be with my CD itself. I set up DOS on an old PII I had laying around with an AWE64 ISA sound card in it and installed the game. No CD audio in Mech II but in Mercenaries and the original DOS Quake I had CD audio. This leads me to believe I may only have the one mouse problem left. Good luck to all and if anyone figures out the middle button thing give us a holler.

Hello all, I have followed this thread with interest. I have also combined knowledge here with what I have found on the DOSBox forums. So far with VDMSound I can get MW2 DOS to run. At first the mouse response was WAY too slow to be useful. I then found out about the file MOUSE2KV.EXE. I ran it with the 1024 x 768 option (even though the game is running at 640x480) and the mouse works fine now. I run it with a batch file through VDMSound like so: nolfb.com sapucdex.exe MOUSE2KV.EXE 1024 768 8 8 mech2.EXE Oh, BTW, the middle mouse button does not seem to be recognized by MW2. I am using a Microsoft Mouse with the default XP driver. There are only two things that still bug me though. The sound is still choppy and the CD audio does not work. I have tried running it through DOSBox with no luck (even when I use the hacked .exes that do not require the CD). I have run the sound configuration through a VDMSound launch and chosen several options. The ones that work always seem choppy. I have followed this guide pretty close, but I wonder if anyone else has expanded on it to fix these two problems. I am running a P4 Northwood with 1024 megs RAM and the original SB Audigy under XP Pro SP2. Thanks for keeping this thread going! [Edited by Hoyt on 2005-02-26 13:07:13]
