- I have had relative success running programs and games under OS/2, but a few
- have caused problems...
-
- Wolfenstein 3D, though it works fine originallt (v1.1), when I install the
- extra 5 missions, the system crashes completely (freeze) when the line showing
- loading of vswap is almost done...
-
- Falcon 3.0 will not install or run on my system?, do I need to use a booted
- DOS machine, my OAK Video prevents that from working... Not to mention that
- I cannot run (on another computer) himem.sys in a booted dos session.
-
- Grand Prix Unlimited makes massive pauses whenever my tires squeak or I go off
- the road... I was able to change a setting to fix the pauses, but then the
- sound for that part wouldn't work?
-
- Untima Underworld crashes itself if I switch away from it while it is in the
- actual game (not the title screen). This happeded with background exec. on,
- which I want...
-
- Sim City messes with the system when I switch away, I have to wait quite a
- while after pressing ALT-ESC for the desktop to appear and even longer for
- the desktop to start moving.
-
- Xtree Gold causes an instant IPE upon excecution.
-
- Roland.
