Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I have got the original Dune 2 which was released in 92(or something) and it worked for win 98, but when I upraded my computer to XP, the game got pretty f*cked up. When I started the game, the screen were in all kind of colors and I couldn't see the menu, although the intro worked fine.What is wrong?

Timenn Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Try run it from the program prompt (like the dos-prompt) in the start menu under bureau accessories, icon looks like a dos-prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 That is exactly what I have been doing, cos I never managed to run it from Win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Did you try the emulation mode options in XP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Have you tried reinstalling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 huh, what is the emulation mode options?Yes, I will try to reinstall it, but I want the save games kept, which file have got the save-games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 It's a long time ago that the game was installed with me, but warn't the savings kept in a seperate directory. "Data" probbebly ? Thought they all ended on *.sav. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 If you right click on the .exe file you can set the program to run in Win95, 98 etc emulation modes and it might work then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidiware Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Norwegians and XP, i dont think we fit that OS, its to strange...... ::)Dune 2 original.... cool, i have only seen it in 96, they wanted 500 nok for it, for that old game....They hadn't heard about buisness...But... Dune 2 shall not work under XP, caus XP dont have dos, so to emulate 95/98 is the only way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Dune2 does work in XP, you have to change some memory settings.. dunno which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Yeah, but that's too much trouble for me. SO instead I just installed it on my old win 98 computer. There it worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
