Ok, I am going through all these steps, but it looks like I missed something, because when I open up my CDSHOCK.BAT it doesn't look like it is supposed to:
@echo off
E:\Games\sshock\nolfb.exe
E:\Games\sshock\MOUSE2KV.EXE 640 480 8 8 E:\Games\SSHOCK\dos4gw.exe cdshock.exe
Instead it looks like this:
@echo off
D:\cdrom\cdshock.exe
D is my CD drive. Did I miss any steps?

Was anyone able to figure this one out? I'm having the same problem on Win XP. But thankfully, after the chore of getting the cursor back over the rez button and changing it back, I can play normally. I don't have the same problem he does of needed to restart the DOS program to get it back. The garbled screen also affects the cut scenes, but changing "lowres_cutscenes" in the config to 1 makes it work just fine, albeit they are low res.Originally posted by Shaundakahl
I've searched over the forums but didn't really find an answer for this problem.
I got the intro for SS1 to work w/ good audio. The ingame audio and video is fine... but I can't play in 640 x 480 rez. When I switch to it, the screen becomes incredibly garbled and there is no way to play. Simply cannot be done; it's a chore to get the cursor back over another rez button to change back. Finally, I can get it done... only to discover that the cursor took a hike! No more cursor back in normal resolution. I have to restart the DOS program to get it back.
Does anyone have a clue what might causing it or how to fix it?
I've followed this FAQ to a T and everything works fine, I just wish to play in the higher resolution.

Thats great to here at least some people, made Shock 1 run on their systems - but unfortunately not on mine. I just cant see any difference between cdshock.exe and the xp-cdshock.exe; and using VDMS seems not to help also. A blank black screen is all I see!
I dont want to ask if anybody could help (my english is way to bad to explain my problems anyways) but what i wanna know is, if Shock 1 is working on all your systems after setting it up like described here? (with working I mean anything else than a blank screen)
BTW: my first post here: hello everyone!
And maybe i should mention my specs:
CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2000+
GPU: GF4 TI4200, newest drivers
BOARD: Asus A7V8X, VIA KT 400, newest drivers
OS: WinXP Pro Service Pack 1

Yes, in a stupid OS that was created 6 years or so later, and does not have a proper DOS system. I mean, what were Looking Glass thinking?!?

Ok, it was a bit too complicated for me to solve without any help...typical for me though
Punch me and kick me and run away
You know who you are so,
Now look at me what do you have to say?
Go then! Whatever's wrong with your head.

I was going to request that one of the mods sticky this topic, since it contains information and links that would undoubtedly be useful, but it seems it's turned into another one of those "lynch the SS hater!" threads.

Hey, I didn't try to kill him
I thought almost the same when SS1 frustrated me for almost 2 weeks. *I needed those two weeks to get the game running!*
Only I used some baaaad F-Words
Punch me and kick me and run away
