Problem with demo not starting with Win98SE solved

[Geoman]

For those having problems with Voodoo cards
===========================================

I am using Win98SE and a Voodoo 3000 (!) video card (with unofficial drivers).

To make Dominions II run after installation i had to do the following:

1. Execute from a DOS prompt "dom2 --bitplanes 8"
2. The screen appears black, then i terminate the program (ALT-CTRL-DELETE & "End Task").
3. Then execute "dom2 --bitplanes 16 -w"

NOTE: If i omit step 1. (using 8bits/pixel mode) the game doesn't run...

I am using a window to avoid the "disappearing" cursor problem and i usually add "--res 960 720" or "--res 1024 768".

I also noticed that resizing or maximizing the game window causes the game to crash...

I'll try to change my SDL.DLL from v1.26 to v1.24 as suggested in a previous post to solve the cursor problem...
