hi!
i been reading some post's but i find myself in a great mess, after all this reading!
im working on a:
PIII 800MHz with a GeForce2 MX on a Windows XP platform.
i been trying to play this game from 2 day ago.. with the GeForce2 MX, but it shows:
"No supported SuperVGA chip detected!" after SFX Loading..
i find this very commom because its a game from 1996 and this graphic card is some how recent..
so.. i got a S3 Virge, just to play this game :))
but it just don't work..
now detects the "new" card (S3 Virge), but after detecting it.. when the game should start, actually...
it just goes into a blank screen and returns to windows..
i also tryed the compatibility mode at the GAME.EXE Properties, puting on Windows 95 and Windows 98 compatibilty mode but didn't work too..
can YOU help me, please?
i would really like to play this old strategy game!! (with the GeForce2 MX if possible!!)
please, HELP! (if needing any more information, please ask!)
sorry for my bad english! :)

Im assuming it would have nothing to do with the video card... '96 game? its probably dos based... in which case its not compatible with 98 2000 xp... try going directly into dos before running it.
