SEIV GOLD and Dell/ME

[Jason2]

I've already ordered a copy of SEIV GOLD (have the original as well) so this question isn't related to my support.

However, I would love to play it on my Dell Inspiron 8100 which runs Windows ME (urgh) - the original SEIV wouldn't run properly unless I let my computer run for at least a half hour (and sometimes not even then)... I was wondering if the cause had been pinpointed and fixed or is this a Dell problem/ME problem and I just have to suck it up and play at home on desktop... ?

Thanks!

Jason

Jason2,
I have Windows ME on a computer I built myself
It is a :
Pentium: 633mhz
128MB RAM
Low end video card
17" NEC Multisync at 1024 x 768
I'll ad the systemboard maker when I get home

We have had other folks with the same combo who seem to work okay.

I have a feeling that Dell has some sort of TSR or such that is intefering with the game.

Reformat, install everything fresh. Do not use any proprietary install disk and see if that works to get rid of the problem.

Thanks for the suggestions - I hope it will work - nothing like conquering the universe during lunch hour http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif )
