I was reading the thread about The Enemy Within and decided I needed to play the that. I pulled out all the Descent disks and \"The Definitive Collection\" was the newest set of the D1/D2 disks I have.
The D2X-XL instructions said I should have a clean install of D1 and D2 which works out as that was the goal anyway.
The problem is XP crashes hard (thunk) when I use the install.exe on disk 1. I tried the right click and set compatibility to 95 but it crashed again.
How do I install The Definitive Collection?
Thanks!
D1 > D2 > D2X-XL

Apparently, my system does not like \"The Definitive Collection\".
Damn good thing I'm a Descent nut and have earlier CD's of the collection.
Pulled out the Windows 95 (only) 2 disk D2 Vertigo Set and installed them. They worked.
Guess I won't be seeing D1 anytime soon as those disks won't work. I was so looking forward to the Descent Anniversary Edition too.
Now I am following the directions for the D2X-XL setup to see how that goes.

D2X-XL is in and seems okay, I just have to set some stuff up having played D3 for soooo long.
I do need to know how to make the ship not move forward automatically by itself. It did not do it when I installed D2, it started after D2X-XL installation.
It's hard to look around when the ship wants to go.

If so. Are you using a mouse or are you using the touchpad to control your ship?
Another thing, have you tried different peripherals? Does the problem persist with a ......
* Newer mouse?
* Different keyboard?
* Joystick/gamepad?
* keyboard only?
If any of these. Try unplugging them to see if that fixes the problem.
