Running Win2K SP2,
Trying to run Warcraft2 which claims it can run on Windows NT.
Aside from fixing the sound problems with VDMSound, i can still not get the game to work because it claims that it cannot find a VESA video driver!
My video card- ATI Rage Pro 8mb AGP2x
So i went to http://support.ati.com/drivers/dos/dos_vbe_221.html
and got the latest VESA driver, though when i try to load it it comes up with the error - Mach64 adapter not detected!
Any else had issues with VESA video drivers, are they included in Win2K?
Anyone been able to Run Warcraft2?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

There are a few VESA modes that can be reached by the program if run in full screen mode but really there is no VESA support in 2000/XP. XP offers a couple more VESA modes (blocked) but no Linear modes which most of the newer VESA games need. There is a way to get WAR2 working it involves chaning a setting in the game's .cfg files but I forgot the setting. My copy of DOS War2 died long ago and I've been using Battle.net for my WAR2 fix.
