Perhaps you could be even more officious, mate  . . .

Actually, I'll retract the original post.  The D2X-XL, though feature
rich is proving unstable on my system regardless of the version I'm
running.  It must be my PC.

The DX2-Rebirth program seems a good deal more stable - though it's
minus a ton of cool features of D2X-XL.  (And it won't play Redbook
audio either - thats why I think my PC is the root of the issue.)

At any rate - I just want to play Descent again.  I'll play some more
with D2X-XL later some day and see where I get.

At the risk of sounding officious ;) ...

Thanks!

The SF.net d2x-xl bug tracker is the central place to get support for
d2x-xl. Nuff said.

D2X-XL has a command line switch to specify the CD drive the Descent CD
is residing in. Check the switches doc on www.descent2.de.
