Not able to Future Cop L.A.P.D.

I installed a game named Future Cop L.A.P.D. The game installed on my computer successfully
but when I hit the start button I see the black screen with sound-fx.
The game need not any graphic card.Its' is very old game.
so please tell me what the heck the problem is?

Could you give me the specifications of the game? :)

Something you could try in the meanwhile:

Right click on the .exe file
Go to properties
go to the compatibility tab
tick the box and choose "Windows 98"
Then press OK

Try to run the game after that.

ASKER

Yes Of course Bro :)

I tried what you told me it did not run.This time I did not see the anything. LOL
Readme.txt

ASKER

However I don't know I have directX installed on my computer or not.

Did you try changing it to Windows 95 aswell?
As i didn't know the exact specifications i made a wild guess towards Windows 98.
If I read the readme it says its ment for 95 so try it ;)

If you want to find out if you have DirectX installed, do the following:

Go to Start
Click Run
Type in: "dxdiag"
let the loading (in the bottom left) finish
then in the bottom right theres a button: "Save Information to file"
Save it to a file and attach it to the next reply.

ASKER

Yea I tried All Man.

DxDiag.txt

ASKER

Man this game is cool no doubt about it but I am not able to play.
When I start the game I see black screen with sound and music.
I can do movements(fire,jump) but see only black screen.
I even can listen to the sound of bullets but can't play. Sad

<< DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) >>

Thats the directX version you have installed.
However i saw something else in the DxDiag that's not supposed to be there ;)

<< Display Tab 1: The system is using the generic video driver. Please install video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer. >>

you might want to download and install the newest video drivers from your hardware manufacturer.

Hope this helps :)

ASKER

Great Man. !!

you got my problem.

System specification:

core 2 due 1.8gh
1gb ram
jetways motherboard.

so please give me the download link.

We'll need to know the Graphics Card. An Example is: "Asus VGA A9250/TD/128M (AGP)"

ASKER

I don't know how to find out which graphic card I have.
I shop-keeper from which I bought my pc did not give me the driver cd Man.
I am totally confused how to get the name of the graphic card.

ASKER

could this be drivers' name?

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2772&SUBSYS_27728086&REV_02\3&2411E6FE&0&10

Run another DxDiag, but instead of saving the file go to the third tab from the left.
I think its called Display. Then look what it says at the Device category under: "Name"

ASKER

Name : n/a
Manufacturer : n/a
Chip type : n/a
Dac type : n/a

LOL , Becuase I did not install the drivers and becuase I don't have cd.

Another try to get to know the video card :)

http://www.download.com/SiSoftware-Sandra/3000-2086_4-10556571.html?part=dl-SiSoftwar&subj=uo&tag=button&cdlpid=10556571

Go to that link and install SiSoft Sandra.
Once installed start the software
Open the Hardware Tab
Double click on "Displays and Display Adapters"
Let it scan and use the hotkey: "CTRL + C" or go to the bottom left of that window and click on "Copy to Clipboard"
Then paste that information to a .txt file and attach it to the next reply :)

ASKER

Done :D
work like a heaven.
Game is running fine.
I downloaded the same driver from jetway's site but you did the same great job with your valuable time.
However my problem has been solved but I need to know about what the heck is mean of these message:
<<Once you have OpenGL the next stage is to install a miniGL driver which allows 3DFX to be understood first by OpenGL and then Windows. This is called a Glide Wrapper and the best of the best is Zeckensack's Glide Wrapper available for download from his site here:
http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/>>

please clearify this.

thanks a lot :D :D :D
best regards
Vegeta ( DragonBall Z)

As MASQERAID stated before, You'll need a program that will make sure that Windows knows how to handle the old game.
http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/archive/GlideWrapper084c.exe

there's a direct link to the download.

Its an explaination of how to make windows understand a certain thing called 3DFX which is an old code for graphics.
The link takes you to a site where you can download a program that will make windows understand the 3DFX Code.

I'm glad that your game is finally running :)

Have a great time playing it,
Olrik.
