NT gaming help

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Zero_Spine

I am working on a SGI 320 and of corse running windows NT (service pack 6). I am trying to play Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 who's system requirements are:

PC CD-ROM
Windows 95, 98, NT 6.0, 2000, and Millennium
PII 266 or better
64 MB of RAM
2 MB of Video RAM
16 bit color
4X CD-ROM drive
100% Microsoft Compatible Mouse
Direct Sound Compliant Sound Card
200 MB of additional hard drive space
3D Hardware acceleration (optional)

When I load the disc it will come up with the the install screen; then when I click on install it changes to a black screen. A moment later a error box that says "DirectDraw does not support that requested mode" comes up.

What is the error message telling me, is there anything I can do to fix the problem, and what can I do to install and play my game.

You probably need to get updated video drivers for NT 4.0 (SP6).
