    Old games usually don't work very well on XP, if you get them to work at all! I always keep another installed copy of Windows 98 around to play some older games. As far as I know Duke 3D is an old DOS game and your chances of getting it running well under XP are slim to impossible.

    Have you been into the folder where it is and set the thing up with Setup.exe this sets your sound and video plus you can test it from there,if the test doesn't work your cooked.
    I thought you needed Duke3d run this too !!!

    COME GET SOME!!
    sorry just had to say it.

    http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1

    Try installing Dosbox, and use it to play the game, I've been able to get a bunch of my old dos game to work with it, that I couldn't get to work in XP before hand.

    I can play and build with DN3D on my xp machine. You just need a ported version. As long as you have the main game files, you just need a new build, a new game executable, a new setup executable, and a build.cfg file and you should be set. It runs just about as well as if you were using the regular version. You can find the one i use at the address below.

    You should only need to download the binaries on the page below.

    You can also go here to get right to the download mirrors.

    Ive got a similar problem with an "older" game. Ever heard of "Axis & Allies"? it loads good, but once you get past the first screen, every click takes 5-10 seconds.

    Ive heard bout tweaking the bios clock, but not being very "techie" I can't risk fu#$in up my machine, lol.

    Any sugestions?

    That is really neat, I didn't know anybody bothered to recompile all that old code and make it XP compatible. Might have to try that and if it works, I will use my other hard drive to play with the new Longhorn Build 4051.
