Game loads to black screen and then stays there. Help!
When I try to run the game Blood in normal 320X200 resolution, it loads and then goes to a black screen. Nothing happens. It stays in this screen forever. The program doesnt crash or anything, it just doesnt go anywhere. I know the build XP process says run in VESA 640X480 but when I try to do this it just crashes with:
NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction
I need help. Did I lose my way while setting up or whats going on? Really would appreciate any sort of advice.
Please dont make me go back to DOSBox!

Something's wrong there... You may need to uninstall/reinstall VDMSound. And don't forget to reboot each time. Also note, the official forum for VDMSound is http://vogons.zetafleet.com/
As for the black screen problem, you may try setting files=40 in the file "config.nt". Do a forum search here, if you need further instructions.

when you get to the downloada page, there should be a hyperlink to old drivers. try this first.

You could try http://www.nomissoft.com/files/winxpfix.zip which changes your vga.sys driver, as suggested here (Step 3). Sorry, I have never had this error, so I am only guessing. It is a pity that this forum is almost dead...
