I think you can get privateer 2 working with the joystick by manually entering the calibration info into the priv2.cfg file. Didnt have a chance to try it yesterday but ill see if i can have a go later.

Well i couldnt resist playing with the dos version. It now kinda works in XP. As long as you run it in win95 compat mode, in 256 colours, with themes disabled it installs fine, the mouse even works! I had to copy the contents of the CDs into the directory on the C:\ drive and edit then dark.cfg(?) file to point to the correct location. The game then runs fine but i cant get my ms digital joystick working but im gonna try an old ch flightstick pro on it later. Anyway, apart from that it all works, even have sounds

Yeah same drive here, no problem, you wouldnt happen to have a via motherboard with the 686b southbridge would you?

Either its dead or it only comes on when needed, my dads Latitude L400 runs fine for a bit then suddenly the fan will come on for a bit and then stop again. Just a shame it sounds like a jet engine. Probably dead though if it never ever comes on

I had alot of problems with my brothers kt7a, but the via latency patch (3rd party would you beleve) fixed them all. www.viahardware.com if you wanna try it.

hehe

I had to reinstall windows after the install of the new psu, otherwise it would return the same error on boot. (Many installs failed though with the old psu).

Only ever seen that once when i was trying to power a system with too small a psu.

Personally id love an LCD, a big 1 bit expensive atm though

hmmm well ive got it at home and it works fine on xp, how far does it actually get before failing?

For Sale Intel Pentium 4 1.9ghz (Willamette) s478 and Intel Pentium 4 1.8ghz (Northwood) s478 They are not great overclockers unfortunatly, the 1.9 will do about 2.1 and the 1.8 will do 2200 on 1.7v. Anyway, id be looking for bout £60-£70 each Both retail boxed with brand new retail hs/f.

If you have the original version then a patch is needed. http://www.interplay.com/interact/downloadlist.asp?Dltype=3 Check that out and then give the game a go

I was so pleased when someone told me about dns2go, just what i was looking for No problems so far.

You mean we wouldnt win 5-1 !?!?!

Just wait till the USofA play a good team But well done to them

;(

[Edit] oops ignore me Cant read it seems.

Ive seen this where the motherboard is touching the case, shorting it.

Youll probably get more answers over at www.madonion.com, every other post over there is "is my score ok?!?!"

Yeah just shoot its 2 rotors things on each wing until you see a little red flashy light appear on each 1 (On the side). Then simply shoot that red light and that engine will go boom, just do that to both of em and bye bye copter.

Yes

Personally, i think that in this case the board/psu combo could be an issue, but....ive seen it many times on msg boards, ppls saying "my system is unstable, could it be my psu?" and then about 10 ppl saying yes when its quite obviously not In any 'normal' board i would say that 300w is fine, but if ppl say there is an issue with the board then there probably is See you say why do they make 400, 500w psus. Equally, why do they ship top of the range Dells with 125w psus? Anyway, just my 2p.

Actually, just read something from Epic on the leaked demo, ill wait till its official.

Where can i get this leaked demo ? Sorry, but i really wanna try this game out

Yeah i love side/vertical scrollers, especially Tyrian. Had sooo much fun with that game and its wicked music , not played a scroller as fun as that though in ages Anyway Ill give that solaris 1 a try later tonight
