Greetings! Tie Fighter Questions
This is a discussion about Greetings! Tie Fighter Questions in the Windows Games category; I have both the original Tie Fighter and the Collector's Edition. The old version install fine and runs but has no sound. How can I fix this? The newer version installs fine but will not run at all.

The newer version installs fine but will not run at all. It says that a DirectDraw compenent is not present. I have always had the latest video and DirectX drivers. I have also tried just running the exe directly. It gives me a "memory cannot be read" error. Is there a remedy?
I have tried running but of these in Windows Compatibility Mode. No help.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have Tie Fighter Collector's CD-ROM edition released in 1995, but the executables for the game is TIE.EXE and TIEAUTO.EXE
This version is not the TIE95.EXE and TIESTART.EXE version that an existing patch on the net can fix. HOWEVER!...I was able to install MY version (TIE.EXE) and it worked. Only problem was no sound and no joystick control. I have the joystick patch, too, from lucasarts. Can someone tell me how to fix the version of TIE FIGHTER that I have so I can play on XP?

This is sort of a shotgun solution, but I've used it to get the non-Win95 version of TIE Fighter Collectors' CD to work, as well as the DOS versions of Doom and Doom 2. With some tinkering, you can get most DOS games working pretty well. The downside is that it requires quite a bit of CPU horsepower (especially in the case of TIE Fighter, it seems). Next I think I'm gonna try Privateer...
