Initalizing Allegro...............

7 replies · 1,730 views · Started 18 March 2003

ZC doesn't want to start... if i start it, a message appears: "initalizing allegro................. ", then nothing happens. a week ago it worked perfect, but without sound (i think allegro is something with sound). now it doesn't work and the quest, too.
can somebody help? i have the new version 1.90, win98 and a "soundmax integrated digital audio" sound-card (because of my sound problems...)

ps.: i'm sorry for my english, i'm from germany

yeah, it works! thx

but now i have 3 problems:
1. the coursor doesn't move
2. it is very, very fast
3. i still have no sound

ps.: why does the search funktion not work in this forum???

hey, maybe you didn't fix up the sound and midi drivers! i had to do that to before i got sound

PS: auto detect usually dose'nt work!

Auto-Detect is good for locating your MIDI driver at first and seeing what's compatible with it. For your second problem, Build 182 does that a lot with VSync on, get the Build 183 player. You may need to configure your mouse for the last one. You can't run ZC with Sound or a mouse in Pure DOS either, unless you have DOS Mouse and sound drivers.
