Game Specific Bugs
There are a couple of bugs the games have that are not speed dependent.
Problem - Can't run the game with DirectX:
The game was designed to use DirectX 2.0 The later versions of DirectX are not backward compatible (they are
supposed to be) and so the game does not work properly with never versions of DirectX.
Solution #1: (preferred):
Play using DOSBox. Even the Windows version can be
played in DOSBox if you install Windows 3x in it, first.
Solution #2:
Don't use Direct Draw. Reduce your screen resolution down to 640x480 with "Compatibility mode".
This will fill the entire screen, without even using D-Draw.
Solution #3 (NOT RECOMMENDED!!):
Uninstall your current DirectX and install DirectX 2.0. Many drivers, most newer games and many applications
need later versions of DirectX. Also, you would not be able to uninstall DirectX 8 form XP, anyway.
