I found my copy out in the garage. Don't know if it works yet, but perhaps a challenge is in order? You'll probably kick my ass as I do not remember much about how to play it.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

How about next week sometime?

If you're on XP and you can't get it to work, you might have DEP turned on for all programs and services except for those you explicitly exclude. Add I'76 to the list of excluded programs; that's what worked for me.

My only problems with D3D mode are that 1) the markings on the gauges in the instrument cluster aren't legible, either in cockpit mode or head-up mode, and 2) the road signs are for the most part also illegible, but everything else is fine.

Hey, being that you tested I'76, do you know of any registry or ini file or config file changes that could possibly clear up my aforementioned graphics problems? There are such hacks for games like Battlezone - ini file - and the Freespace series - registry - which make all the difference when running on newer PCs. Did I ask you this a year or two ago?

I can't wait to get it. I'm suspecting sometime before Saturday but I don't know if it was sent Fedex, UPS, or just plain Postal. I haven't played the Nitro pack yet.

I had problems running the demo on my XP system. If I have issues running the full version, I'll have to ask for some advice.

Here are my system specs.

Win XP - Service pack 2
2800+ AMD 32 bit
1 Gig RAM
Asus Nvida 5980 ULTRA w/ DirectX 9.0c

I guess that is it. I-76 non-gold works ok in software mode except when I go and rescue Tarus (I'm suspecting any cut sean that runs in the middle of a level). The game crashes.

Ok... I'm off to bed...

If it's cut scenes that trouble you, I wonder if you need Indeo codecs to play them. Microsoft doesn't distribute them with Windows anymore, and Intel - they created the codecs - sold them to Ligos. Ligos sells Indeo v5.2 - the final version - for $14.95, and that includes support for the older codecs. I know you can find versions 5.1 and earlier on the web for free, but not from the Ligos website anymore.

I bought Indeo v5.2 from Ligos a few years ago, and I've never had any problems playing cut scenes in any older game. Even if the Indeo codecs don't fix your I'76 issue, there are plenty of older games that require them so having them doesn't hurt.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Okay, if you guys are having trouble getting the game to run, here's the benefit of my experience:

Installation:

Both I'76 and Nitro Pack installed without a hitch on Windows XP Pro SP2, so if you're running XP your installations will most likely also succeed.

Running:

Nitro Pack is a lot more finicky than I'76. If you haven't set Windows 95 compatibility mode for splash.exe in the Nitro Pack folder, you won't be able to select Direct 3D mode when you start the game. Also, the game executable, nitro.exe, will crash right away and you'll get an error window if you have DEP turned on for all programs and services except those you select. However, the error window doesn't tell you that you need to exclude nitro.exe from DEP, so it was difficult to try to find out what was preventing the game from running. To add nitro.exe to the DEP exception list, click Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention > Add. Then just navigate to the folder with nitro.exe and select it. Make sure there is a green check mark in the box next to nitro once it's in the list, click on Apply, and that's it. Nitro Pack should now run. I also added I76.exe to the DEP exception list, and set Windows 95 compatibility mode for the splash.exe in the I'76 folder even though I didn't have to in order to select Direct 3D mode. Also, I set Windows 95 compatibility mode for both i76.exe and nitro.exe. They may not need compatibility mode; they seem to run fine without it in fact, but I set it anyway.

Cut scenes:

See my previous post regarding Indeo codecs.

Wth these settings, I've been playing through the TRIP in I'76 with difficulty set to 'Badass'. I've only made it as far as the third mission because it's so... well, difficult! It's a real blast, though; I love this game.

So hurry up and get your games running so we can meet up out in the desert for some vehicular deathmatch action, '70s style!

Thinks for the tips. The cut seans play ok, it's just sometimes they make the game crash, but I'm going to see what I can do (codec wise). I think I have installs left over from an old video editing program I use to use back in 1998. I'll just have to find it.

I haven't gotten my I-76 Arsenal yet. This will be week two since I sent the money off for it, but then again the mail runs super slow in my small town. If it doesn't come this week then I'm going to send a very mean e-mail to both the seller and e-bay.

Once again, thanks for the tips. I'll give them a try when I get home tonight. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a better way to celibate the 10th anniversary of I-76 with the Arsenal pack. I'm so excited that I haven't even installed it yet...

Ok.... I'll get this baby installed and I'll be back in about a few years (when I'm done playing and re-playing this game a million times)....

I'm going to make ISO back ups first just incase something happens to the disks.

Hey, MM... By any chance, have you noticed that one of the characters from the Nitro Pack (the Scottish guy who is one of the good guys) later becomes a bad guy in the first game? I think he later goes by 'Colisto' or something like that. It's a short level but he is used a lot in the Nitro Pack.

No; but then I haven't played Nitro Pack all the way through yet because I'm still on I'76.

When I get to it, I'll be on the lookout for this character and let you know if I see the connection.

Cripes, this game is difficult on Badass! Playing for hours night after night has only gotten me to the mission in which you find and protect the warehouse. Grueling, but fun.

On the upside, this is probably great practice for multi melee!

Still haven't run across the Scottish guy, Qix77.
