Software mode?

[Mr X]

My copy of BZ1 arrived today, thing is, apparantly I need to put it into software mode to play properly,

But when I look on graphics options there is no option for software mode   Does anyone know what I should do?

When I tried the first mission it kept freezing and I don't know how but I somehow got hold of a rave gun.

[AHadley]

There is a rave gun on the first mission, just sitting in the base.

[Mr X]

Ah, but that still doesn't solve my problem...

[bigbadbogie]

Hardware mode is 3D card.

[Dx]

In the options/graphic options/ set the 3D Card to off.
Whe the game froze, was the sounds still playing over and over?

[Mr X]

It wasn't so much freezing, more sort of only updating the frame every 10 seconds or so,

I think that he problem is to do with watching videos, I think that I'm going to have to downgrade some stuff to be able to watch them because I only get the sound on them currently:P

But I'm going to wait a few days so that I can backup the better version first.
