Tomb Raider 1 Windows XP/2000 Instructions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install and run under WINDOWS XP/2000:

You will need VDMSound (Included) to enable DOS sound emulation. It works perfectly too. Install it, and right away go to "C:\Program Files\VDMSound\Tip of the Day" and uncheck the show tips at startup box or it will popup a tip during launching of games and mess you up.
1. Start > Run > CMD to get a Command Prompt.
2. Put the command window into fullscreen mode.
(Click the upper/left corner for a pull down menu. Click "properties". In Display Options, Click "Full-screen" and then "Apply". Note: it will popup a question about "Apply to current window only or all the time". Select Current Window Only.)
This is copied from my Windows 2000 command prompt as I installed it. h: is my CDROM drive.

Loading 'VDDLoader.dll'...
Successfully loaded & initialized (hVDD = 0x01).
h:\>INSTALL
The game begins the install.
3. Use these soundcard settings during install (Do not Auto detect):
SoundBlaster
Port: 220
DMA: 1
IRQ: 7
Next time you want to Play, do the full screen command prompt again:

C:\>CD\TOMBRAID
C:\TOMBRAID>TOMB
Play as normal! Exit the game as normal with the ingame menu, then type EXIT in your full screen command prompt to close it. Mine looks sort of "cut off" at this point, just type exit even if you can't see it.
Optional, but recommended. Now that you have the game running, it's time to get Glidos if you want the great graphic improvement. It costs $10 last time I checked. It has it's own launcher for the game
I get as far as install, the dos window comes up it looks like it waiting for something to happen, but nothing does. All that happens is that my cpu runs at 100%, its a 2Ghz so shouldnt be a problem
