i have AMD Duron 600, 96 mb RAM, Voodoo 3.

I just got Longbow Anthology and am very angry that the game ALWAYS (100%!!!) locks up ("[not responding]") after I exit a mission OR click "close" in the "Read Janes Books" area.

PLEASE HELP!! AND FAST!!

I was using Direct X 8, but i switched to DX7 when i saw a FAQ that said DX7 was compatible with it. But DX7 didn't fix the prob either..

i installed LBA 'custom installation' and only installed LB2. Am i supposed to install LB1 too?!

update: DX 8 was not removed from DirectSound/DirectInput. It's still DX8 in those two areas.

I'm using DX 8.0 with LB Anthology and it works fine, perhaps that is not the problem. I have a PIII and a Voodoo 4500 so my system is unlike yours. I would try other video drivers. Good luck.

update didn't fix anything. I tried LBA on my cousin's computer, a Celeron 300 something with Voodoo 3. Works fine.

Grumble............

i reinstalled windows just to find out DX8/DX7 had nothing to do with my problem... the problem was my Force FX joystick. UGH!! For some reason if i'm using the forcefx drivers, the game won't finish missions. If i use any other set of drivers, it works fine (drivers.. as in what i've got selected in Game Controllers... has nothing to do with what joystick i'm actually using!)

sigh.
