Hi! I recently downloaded&installed the MOOII v1.4 patches, and everything works fine! GREAT GAME! :)

But, if I exit the game and try to start it again, the screen becomes blank. The game seems to run "in background", cause I can hear the click-sounds from the game even thou there is no picture at all. The only possible solution is to restart Windows....

Help? Anybody? :?

I am running MOOII on my Laptop (MobileIntel Express chipset Family 128mb, DirctX9.0c, 768mb ram...), WIndows XP SP2

Hmmm, no idea. But apparently some driver issue?! Have you tried dosbox already? I think it should work there:

HELP! :(

I have tried the DOSbox v0.65, but the game is a lot slower (I have set the "cycles" to 15000!)

The Orion95.exe, after a few turns , the kicks me back to Windows and error-message appears. . . .

Please, anybody...

I am running MOOII on IntelCeleron 1.4GhZ, MobileIntel Express Chipset Family....
