Guest · Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:02 am Post subject: War Winds

I am trying to run this Game on XP.This game also has some sentimental value to me because this was the game that introduced me to the world of Gaming...I was wondering also if possible the Sequel of this Game(War Winds II:Human Onslaught) Is still compatible to XP? And if possible can someone help me get Human Onslaught?

You haven't said what you've tried...

Tried running a different compatibility mode?
Virtual PC?

You mean the windows game, yeah?

Cool

Is that the Full Version or is it just a Demo?

You could always download it and find out it's a CD-rip version(as stated on that page). Happy

I have a problem on War Winds, sometimes when I do too many things during Gameplay the Game exits. Also is their any way to make the color stop from seeming inverted?

W95/98 compability? 16 bit screen colours? VPC?

Or ask where you downloaded it? They have a tech help in the HotU forum.

I just downloaded it from a Torrent since its impossible to get one where I live in now,Also I used a Dos Emulator along w/ it, I get this message:
The instruction at 0045fa36 referenced memory at 391a253b
The memory could not be read from

It's a windows game, a 'dosemulator' won't help you.
More; it's a W95 game, get yourself VPC , install W98SE or so in it, problems solved.

And then there is the question how good your 'bittorrent' download is, great chances it's bugged anyway.

You know where I can a VPC? All I find are ones w/c require Credit Cards or Registering w/ Credit Cards? I need one that is free...

VPC 2007 is free downloadable@MS
->HERE<-
If you're on XP you'll get an 'unsupported' warning, simply ignore it, it works, it simply means you can't get support for it.
[Edit]
Choose the right one for your system, 32 or 64 bit.
[Edit²]
VPC creates an 'empty' Virtual PC' in your PC, so you also will need W98(SE) to install in it.
Don't ask where you can find that one for free.
Google and pirate bay are your friends.

Some more thoughts:
WW works in WinME, and WinME also works fine in VPC.
W95 is a bit problematic sometimes in VPC.
