GP2 and NT4.0 ?

3 posts by 3 people · 05 Jan 1997 - 17 Jan 1997

I recently installed win NT4.0 on my machine. Are there anything special I have to do to make GP2 run on it (apart from configuring the dos-shortcuts memory- what is optimal?). GP2 starts but I can only see the intro. Then the screen goes black. Actually it seems like a video-problem?! I have a Matrox Millennium 2Mb graphics card. I tried the "video:vesa" -option, but nothing changed? I cant get any sound from my Sound Galaxy Waverider 32 3Dpro either. The manual says I must select Soundblaster manually and configure manually. So I did, but no sound :(. Has anyone found the solutions to these problems?? I would be really greatful if someone could give a hint :) Ronny "the Runner"

This is a sound problem, not a video problem. I get it sometimes switching from native dos and WIN95. In dos, I run setup again for GP2 and get it to autodetect. Not sure how it work under NT4. Should be consistent. Ashraf
