Technical troubles with SPWW2

Post by Maciste »

Hi, I'v got a trouble running SPWW2 on my computer.
First, I'll tell the technical characteristics:

Pentium III, 700 MHz, 256 Mb of RAM; HD 20 Gb; Graphic Card is an 3D accelerator Voodoo 3 2000.

What happens? I install SPWW2 (which is DOS based, as everybody knows) and, when I start the game, I only hear the music and see some coloured lines on the upper side of the screen... but I see no image!

¿do U have any idea about what may be happening to me?[&:]
Please, help.

Make sure you're running the latest video card drivers.

Also, did you set up your shortcut as instructed during the install? It says you will have problems if you do not do this. I think it even mentioned a blank screen with lines at the top as one of these problems.

You need univbe, I have a voodoo 3 3000 and have to use the same for games like age of Rifles, SP SP2 and spww2. The voodoo at least works compared to the geforce 2mx that doesn't work at all.
thanks, John.

What "univbe" is? A codec or something like that? Is there a chance for univbe crashin my computer because of uncompatibilities? [&:][&:][&:]
