If you have 4 megs o' ram, set the program to run in DOS-MODE and it runs BETTER than it runs in dos 6.22 and below... cause it runs in dos 7.0. >2) try to run OMF 2097 WITH sound, SFX. If it works, go to step 3, if >not, goto end. For Windows 95... NO problem whatsoever. Again... run in MS-DOS MODE if you have 4 megs of ram. >3) try to run X-WING maximum detail with sound, SFX. If it works, buy the >o/s, if not, goto end. I thought this would be step number one cause Windows 95 runs THIS and Tie Fighter with full detail. The SFX can sometimes be screwy (but I use a Soundmaker 16e... anyone ever heard of it), so I think my sound card might have something to do with that. If you can't get the SFX to run propertly in Windows, switch to DOS MODE and it will run just fine. >:end return o/s to store, b!tch and moan to the retailer, and sue the >manufacturer (lawsuit optional, b!tching and moaning essential).
