Hi guys,
I'm wondering if you can help a fellow gamer out. I've recently just gone back to try to play Privateer 2 on my computer.
I have the original DOS version and followed the steps to get it to play on Windows, including downloading the patch and burning a new copy of Disc 1.
Everything works fine in the beginning, I bought a ship and flew from Hermes to Crius with no problems. Its only when I try to take off from Crius that the game gets messed up. Another window pops up and I'm brought back to Windows, but I can't see the new window box except for the icon on the bottom taskbar. I try clicking on it but nothing happens and main game window freezes up.
From what I gather reading various forums, this is when the prompt for Disc 2 is given. I went to Regedit and the dark.cfg file and they are correct...my game is saved on the C: drive and the E: drive is the CD rom. I tried switching discs and just pressing enter or space, hoping that the prompt is there, even though I can't see it.
Any suggestions? This is a really bad tease, after getting stoked at finally getting the game to run. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks guys.
