I forgot all about this! How things have changed in 18 months! I didnt bother playing much following the time I got it working. It just wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered it being. All these posts have triggered an influx of emails so I was quite confused initially haha.

Well after my last post I copied the file you gave me into the directory where the game installed through GOG. This then launched through DxWnd! But the game itself won't load outside of DxWnd which I'm not sure if you can help with? Either way thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. As for the game itself... I definitely remembered this through Rose tinted glasses haha. Not as good as I remember it being 20+ years ago!!

Ok so since I last replied I bought and installed the legitimate version and I'm still encountering the same problem. I've changed the path to that of the one that game directly from the GOG installation and it no longer shows a thumbnail for it in DxWnd. I've attached the new exe file to it. Just so I'm clear (sorry you have to dumb this down so much).. I'm renaming the one from GOG ".orig" and the one you attached to an earlier post I'm putting into the game folder itself?

So I click run from the dwxnd window. It comes up with the logo on a video and then it goes black and stays that way until I click the black window and it closes.

It just goes to a black screen with that file included in the folder. I have enabled logs, I will attach one to the next post.

Thank you again for that. So I think that may have helped as now it shows as an icon down the bottom on my start bar but it only comes up with a black screen. I left it for a couple of minutes and then clicked on the black screen but it just closes. Making progress I guess haha! Edit - I should probably mention it comes up with an error message saying it can't find DPstub.exe. Do you know what that means?

Thank you. Now it's saying I'm missing Storm.dll haha. I feel like this is going to be a long day! Do you happen to know all the .dll file types that are in/should be in the game folder?
