Win2k glitches and freeze - anyone know the answer? :)

Lothar Pilot	posted 11-05- 08:57 PM I'm trying to make the switch to Win2k. I installed SDOE with the 1.5 patch and the x.9 WWW patch. It starts up ok, but will freeze within 10-30 seconds of being inside a plane. Also, when I click "options", the buttons come up with no text labels. If I click on the top button, I breifly get the screen and then a crash-to-desktop. I'm running Win2k with SP2 and all the MS updates including DirectX 8a. I've tried SDOE in OpenGL and D3D. I know some people use Win2k, have you seen these problems before? Thanks in advance! IP: Logged
Maury Markowitz Pilot	posted 11-05- 09:43 PM Start by trying this... make sure you have SP2 go to your SDoE folder and make a shortcut to the .exe click on the shortcut, and get properties you should see a tab called "Compatibility", select it select "Run in compatibility mode" and select Win 98 as the mode run the game by opening the shortcut See what happens!
