Dragon's Lair DVD-ROM and WinXP SP2

[ssjenkins]

Hi All,

 I just received my DL , DL2 and Space Ace DVD-ROMs from Digital Leisure yesterday . First thing I did was to stick DL in my DVD drive and bingo , error message number 1 "Unable to open key , RegOpenKey=2,Line=579" .

 OK , so I went to their website , read up on the compatibility issues with XP and downloaded a few things . I'm now running their "Dragon's Lair DVD" program V1.10 with "DirectShow" . The program starts OK and usually runs about 5 or 6 scenes before crashing with a Windows "DLDVD MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close......" . I'm running the program in Win95 compatibility mode as specified in their website but I'm still having problems .

 I was just wondering if anyone has it working 100% ?

Thanks

Sammy

I had similar problems, but never bothered to work through them.  Read up on the Daphne emulator and run it all from your PC.  Works great!

OK , I'll do that . Thanks !

One more note..  This only applies to SA and DL    Not DL2..  I haven't gotten DL2 to play, yet, as I've only got XP sp2 machines availalable..  DL2 supposedly works in Daphne if you compile the latest CVS version yourself, but I haven't bothered, yet 

Thanx.

Thanks for that jfunk . Actually DL2 (DVD-ROM) is the only one that hasn't crashed yet in XPSP2 using the digital leisure loader (Win95 compatibility) . My version of XPSP2 definitely doesn't like DL . I've just finished configuring daphne and it worls a treat with DL and SA .
