winsock initialization failed
Oh wow, msvcrt gone, ah yeah that would cause problems.
Now be fair and the graphics, that is a pretty old game, which I played the heck out of... still have it on floppy disk somewhere ['course the disk is probably shot by now..] Well, I was definitely dealing with an old memory regarding the config... maybe it was a command line option, anyway, glad you got it sorted out. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "rpgs rock dvds" wrote in message ...

I used sfc to restore a file named Msvcrt.dll. Once that had been done, Heretic II ran fine. (Please note, I examined its config file and could not spot anything related to winsock, etc.) Now this game loads OK, I used it to test out my voodoo1 card and it works! Glorious BluroVision! ;-)

You ran SFC and reinstalled the original file, I presume. What version
Windows is it, FE or SE? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "rpgs rock dvds" wrote in message ...
