Hello fellow shmups fans,
before the board crash... I had asked about the compatibility of DG PC on Win XP (Was designed originally for Win 95 and 98 ). I had heard reports online that it has a tendacy to crash after the first level. Lo and behold, I also fall prey to that bug...If anyone has had that problem, how did you remedy it ?
Looking foward to the answers as Stage A was awesome, although the Golden Ogre was way too easy (doesn't stop it from being tremendously cool tho).
I'm getting the following error when it crashes : "Cannot read data file from CD-Rom." It doesn't make sense as the CD drive is functioning properly otherwise.

Ok.... I've found out one way to keep it from crashing...
It wasn't as obvious as I expected, but it worked. You need to do a right click on Darius.exe on the CD-Rom directory, and choose Properties. Then clicking on the Compatibility Tab, you can set it to work as if under Windows 95. I don't know if this will work for everyone(as computers differ quite a bit with diffrent video cards and all); but it worked fine for me.
