I was wondering if anyone else has experiencd this problem...My Computer:
Asus A7V /w Duron 650 (Running at 880)
ATI Xpert 98 (8MB VRAM)
Dual boot: Win98 and Win2K
I installed FF8 on the Win98 configuration, and it works *almost* flawlessly (some slowdown during battle scenes due to my cheap vid card).
Since Win2K is MUCH faster then Win98 (at least on MY computer it is) I wanted to install it there as well... but when I start the game, all that happens is the screen flashes... then nothing. The game does not start... the system doesn't lock up... like I never even clicked the icon. I tried Win2K Service Pack 1 with no effect.
Another note regarding FF8CONFIG:
Under Win98, all graphics features PASS,
while uner Win2K, they all pass EXCEPT 8-bit Palletized Textures. What's the deal with THAT? Latest ATI drivers for Win2K do nothing except slow my graphics down.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
