Okay, I know I'm not with it half the time, but I DID get the original running on a 486 sx33 with 4MB RAM when it wanted a dx66 processor. I can even play it in DOS Box on this system of mine. But I can't get the menu screens to display ANYTIHING but an image much like shattered glass with the remake.
My eyes are now bleeding from trying to figure out what I did wrong during installation. I searched the forum for something similar, but I don't see it. Like I said, I'm not really with it by now, so I guess I could have missed something.
I changed the video settings to their very base settings, I even tried various resolutions. I can get in the ship and fly it, I can do all sorts of things, but I can't get into the commodities exchange and buy or sell ANYTHING because I can't see what's there. Same for anything that has a menu. The menu looks like shattered glass. It can't be my video card, why would it give me 3-D graphics for flight and not a flat menu?
Is it me? a corrupt game file? I don't want to download the whole game again and waste your bandwidth.
I'm running an AMD Athlon 1600+ MX with 512 MB RAM an ECS EligeGroup AG315p 256 Bit AGP 4X VGA 64MB SDRAM Video Card (AG315T-64) with the latest drivers available on a Doze 2k system with 12Gig available on a 40Gig HDD. It CAN'T be a drive space issue. Heck, Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights need MASSIVE amounts of disk and RAM to run and they run fine. You can reply here or e-mail wendy atsign* kimem.net. I LOVE The original and I would LOVE to see what all you guys have done to it. From the forum it looks WILD. PLEASE, help this dolt out!
