Wraith 8 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 euh.. is Darkforces originally a DOS game??? or do you NEED windows to play it? or does the game just play without sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I...actually tried to play Dark Forces this weekend, and my computer crashed . Sorry, but I'm pretty clueless about this as well. (I'm running ME) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 hmmmmm.. wel for what i know about windows systems (and i dont know that much ) Windows NT and 2000 are build for networks.. and dont play games very well Windows XP no longer has a DOS capability so you cant play games that need DOS anymore Windows ME has a lot of problems and isnt as stable as 98... i use windows 98 SE.. it is the most stable windows of them all.

JRL3001 Posted May 23, 2002 Author Share Posted May 23, 2002 I have the slightly upgraded version of Dark Forces, it's desiogned to work for both DOS and Win95. I can get it to install and run on WinXp, but I cannot get the sound to setup, it will not detect my soundcard, or even work when I set it *sigh* the game just isnt the same withought sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
