I'd hunt for a copy of the "X-Wing Collector Series" or "X-Wing Trilogy" on Ebay or Amazon.com. Either package will have the Windows version of both games (the former will also have "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Flight School"...  [Read More]

Yes, it'll run, but keep in mind that you may get an error dialog that references the file autoexec.nt when you attempt to install it. If that happens, the file can be found in your Windows\Repair folder...just copy it over to your Windows\system32 f...  [Read More]

What you're experiencing is part of the reason why I do not recommend running games on a laptop. Other than that, since most of your problems revolve around sound, I'd look at updating your sound driver. This may also solve the jerky cutscenes, as it...  [Read More]

Are you using the original XvT (not the one w/ BoP included)? If so, you may have installed from the wrong disk. The original XvT production run had the "master" and "multiplayer" disks mislabeled, so the "multiplayer" d...  [Read More]

Just thought of another thing, C.Reed, after looking @ my own copy of XWA. You should not be trying to run setup.exe. The files on the CDs are actually uncompressed and the setup program just copies them over to the hard disk. But, if you followed th...  [Read More]

C.Reed Try changing the version # in the .reg file shown in the thread. You should be able to apply the 2.02 patch (found on LucasArts.com or on Darksaber's site) later. If there are still problems, post them here, and I'll direct Admiral Alistair (...  [Read More]

The problem is that XvT and XWA need a 16-bit loader to load the installation program (which is 32-bit and otherwise compatible) and, as you might have figured out, the 64-bit XP doesn't natively support 16-bit code. Research into the problem is goin...  [Read More]

A CD theoretically should last far longer than the 7 years or so that Windows X-Wing has been out. With that in mind, I think your CD is scratched, and though there are tools and stuff that will repair minor scratches on CDs, it's a hit-or-miss propo...  [Read More]

If you're talking about the DOS CD and you have Win2K or XP, it won't work b/c those two operating systems will not support DOS natively. There are DOS emulators for them, however, the best of which is probably VDMSound (http://sourceforge.net/projec...  [Read More]

H0WARD You must have an old game port joystick and you're trying to use it on a computer that has only USB ports. XWA can use any controller (i.e. gamepads) that DirectX supports, but personally, I wouldn't play a space sim without a stick. You have...  [Read More]
