I want to get this Windows 95 game "Warheads" to
work with 2000.
It has to run from the CD-ROM, so I make a desktop
shortcut and set it to run in Win95 compatability
mode.
All goes well until I click to start the game, then
it hides the mouse pointer and "pops up" a hidden
window. To get things back I have to use the keyboard
to open the start menu. Then the hidden window appears
with -1 in the titlebar, and an OK button under the
word EXCEPTION.
The whole game is only 1.7 megs ZIPped, including the
small server app. It was produced/published by
Ionos and TotalPlay, which are both out of business.
This sounds a lot like what Slave Zero did on my 2000 and XP machines.
Setting the compatibility mode didn't help either, unfortunately.
I do wonder if the VDMSound applicaiton would help your situation.
