Vista

Post by saxoman69 »

Hey all,

I got MW2 installed. Now when i try to start the program, a black box pops up really quick then disappears, then nothing.

I set my compatability to 98 (didn't work on 95.)

Thanks in advance!

What version of the game have you installed (DOS, Win95, Titanium, etc.)?

What (if any) patches/fixes have you tried?

Win95 from what I can tell... I got it from my cousin. I tried Slug's patch and the similar one and Slug's worked for the install. The actual running of the game is now the problem.

Basically if it does not work with slugs hook, you will not be getting it to work.
Verifying of course you are running it through the hook directly, and not launching through the mech2.exe.

If that is the case you need to switch to the DOS mech2 in DOSBOX to get the game working. That really is the only other option.
