Arggghhhh and boo hoo I'm about to give up....stressed out, burned out and NOW it seems I have inadvertantly deleted my sound card!! Turn on my computer and it detects my NEW hardware (the soundcard) and it wants me to insert my soundcard disk. I don't have one....and it can't seem to find...

OK First off I want to REALLY thank you guys and ask you to PLEASE stick with me, I feel we're getting close and I'm praying. Without you, I don't think I stand a chance of getting privateer running!!! I do know that privateer has to run from a bootdisk, not just switching to dos mode...

Can't get privateer going - :o( Can anyone help me any further. Keep getting messages: SBPCI environment variable not found PCI audio drive NOT loading Insuffient DOS memory available to run Privateer. I'm at a loss and REALLY want to get the game going. Dh and I used to play...

hey john I'm feeling my way around here a little bit and starting to learn what lines on the .sys and .bat are for what. I've printed out your files and printed out mine. I'm going to study both, try some changes myself (what the heck ;o) and see what I can get. You are really helping me...

Thank you, John, for your patience. I will try this one and wish me luck....will be very careful w/the spacing, I do realize that it is important. Just to verify w/you, I boot my puter w/the bootdisk. Once loaded, I switch to c drive, then privateer dir, then type priv, and I should get the...

Hey guys, thanks........ JOHN12...... I redid my .bat file and my .sys files to reflect what you gave me. One notation - earlier in your post below the sound card entries for my pc, you have the line: SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS , but in your instructions below that for me on my pc, you don't have...

Must have gotten a tech in a lousy mood last time I called Gateway, said to have a DOS CD-ROM driver was customizing my computer and would cost me $39.95. Tried again today, got a tech in a good mood, using my system restoration cd he helped me find it and load it - I have one now!!! So I'm...

at least I'm learning!! This is what I have done. Ok, I have installed privateer. I have copied the priv.tre and rf.tre files to privater on C drive. I have opened the .cfg files to notepad and changed the path to =C:\privater\priv.tre (and subsequent rf.tre). I have told the game not to...
