Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, mudlord. I must be doing something wrong. I run the patch, it claims success, but no change.
Any advice? :)
what game are you trying.. you could also try it manually as I set out in the first message of this thread
here are the entries i use for AOE2 and Conquerers
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw\Compatibility\EMPIRED2.ICD] "Flags"=hex:00,08,00,00 "ID"=hex:df,d1,81,39 "Name"="EMPIRES2.ICD" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw\Compatibility\aoe2_x1] "Flags"=hex:00,08,00,00 "ID"=hex:ec,33,74,3b "Name"="age2_x1.exe"
I tried this on my AOE2 Conquerors and it initially wouldn't work.
After some trial and error I found that I needed to change the name age2_x1.exe to age2_x1.icd, exactly as it is shown in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw\MostRecentApplication.
Again, I need to look into SafeDisc game handling (like AOE, possibly C&C RA2 etc....)
