What CPU have you got in that 486?

[_r.u.s.s.]

isnt 486 the stable cpu?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yes, but the general classification of 486 includes a number of different CPU speeds.
I think his CPU just can't handle the game and its' sound effects at the same time.

It´s 486/100 with 32 MB. I played BT on exactly same computer without any problems, only soundcard was different. Strange. P II with 128 MB and SB AWE 64 should handle it, same problem.
I´ll try different soundcards, must find some old ones. In junkyard Thanks.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Perhaps there is some sort of hardware conflict?
Or the game just can't handle that soundcard because of some problem with backwards compatibility?
If I were you, I'd try an older soundcard... think Sound Blaster 16 or Pro / Pro 2 (or a compatible).

[_r.u.s.s.]

this problem happened to me on win98 as well, some games ran very choppy when running with sound. all i needed to do is to boot in MS DOS, like i said before. did you try that?

Yes, yes, different soundcard. Now I dont have anything else, only that Diamond soundcard but in few days I will get some "new" old stuff so I will try it. I just wanted to know if someone else had same experience with this game because other games work without problem.

Yes I did. I think it will work with another soundcard in DOS on 486. Now I get the idea to try it under Win95 on that Pentium. It could work. Thanks!

[_r.u.s.s.]

well i dont think that buyng a new soundcard will change anything. in dos (or emulated dos) you need to run setup exe and keep trying different soundcards. but adlib for music works always

[SensiFan]

It works perfectly with different coundcard. Diamond sound chip sucks
