First: Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina and I'm a little bit out of practice.

Well my friend, I'm another one with problems with this GREAT game.

It's making me crazy.

I have different problems but some solutions too.

Here is my situation, I hope some things work for you. If that happen, PLEASE let me know.

I run WindowsXP Pro.

I can make Screamer work under the following environments but with problems:

1) Directly in XP using the PIF file for access (setup.exe and starth.exe) and configuring new autoexec and config files in emulation ("properities / program / advanced", I have that options in spanish, so I don't know the exact name in english in the OS). The problem is that crashes sometimes and It can't load music from a CD (including when I use the mscdexnt.exe). But I think I can solve this. There is something I'm forgetting in the configuration. I will try loading the old MSCDEX program with compatibility too.

2) In DOSBOX it works too slow and crashes too (changing frames and cycles too).

3) With VirtualPC and a REAL Ms-Dos emulated environment it works JUST FINE with CD support TOO, but if you don't have a VERY GOOD MACHINE is slow.

------

To do all this, you must install the game and change the SCREAMER.CFG file with the correct data depending where you are trying to run it. With (1) I use VDM Sound too and the sound works fine.

The main problem with the CD support is that WinXP controls the units by SOFTWARE. That sucks...

The second problem is that the MIDI emulation, generaly, slows ALL.

------

Well, that's all.

If I can run it in XP with CD support working fine, I let you know.
