OK, I just got the program, and whenever I go to the CLI, my screen goes black..I can't see what I'm typing, and when I type in PRINT "Hello World" I see a strange white blob in the middle of the page..Surely this isn't normal? Any ideas? If anyone could help I'd be really greatful!

What are you system specs, and do you have Direct X installed (and a graphics card)

Thanks for the reply, I really should have included spec..

DX 8.1
Voodoo 2 Graphics card(12MB) - Driver is unofficial but compatable with DX 8..Don't know if that would effect it
160 MB RAM
Win 98
AMD Duron (800MHZ)

is the Driver from GLSetup? because if so then its likely not to be a problem ... if not i'd get ahold of Glide2x and try again

there are alot of known bugs with Voodoo based cards and DirectX - they're just not 100% compatible because their drivers are just wrapped from Glide32 (Cut down OpenGL)
i'd suggest updating to WindowsXP as soon as, because that has very stable Voodoo Drivers

failing that, your can grab a GeForce2mx PCI for around £30-40 ... can even use it with the Voodoo2 if you like

Thanks a lot for the help guys, I might just get a GeForce..Was thinking about maybe getting the GeForce 4 anyway. In the meantime, hopefully Glide2x will help Thanks again.
