okay so heres the thing: i have a Intel DR767 mother borad with a Pentium 3 slot 1 prosser at 500MHz 512MB of ram a 10GB HDD with an A Vortex sound card and an integrated nVidia RIVIA 128ZX video card. when running in Windows 98 my DOS games (like Tyrian 2000) run full speed full framrate with complete sound. but when i upgraded this comouter to Win2k suddenly i lost everything the framrate got choppy the sound vanished and it wont detect my joistick now WinNT doesn't seem to respond very kindly to Windows 95/98 games, try using Dosbox. well when i use DOS box i have to mess with the cycles/milisecond before i can get a SMOOTH framrate for like 2 minutes just top lay the game once

oh also Tyrian 2k is a DOS game but i cant figure out how to install the sound card drivers correctly for the ISA sound card i have. the software says it detected the sound hardware and Tyrian detects my Microsoft Sidewinder Pro 3D joystick attached to the Game/MIDI port but when i plug the speakers in THERES a whole crapload of static and you can BARELY hear the sound through the staticQuote
