Controls and GLIDOS ?

[alistair]

Hi

Tomb Raider was fine on my old computer however I have now upgraded and am running ME,with a ATI Rage 128 Pro Graphics card...and here come the problems!

My biggest problem seems to be that the menu ring spins out of control and it does not respond to any of my inputs. I have looked on various web sites and seen this is a FAQ...

ie. "Spinning icons is attributed to the
games incompatibility with your joystick/gamepad or game port. Power down your computer and unplug the joystick/gamepad then turn on the computer and play the game."

Well, of course I tried that and I still have the problem. I am not using a joystick/gamepad - just the keyboard. Is this problem likely to be related to my graphics card?

I sent this ? to EIDOS and the response I recieved back was..."make sure you have removed all the software for your Joystick/Gamepad and if you have a special wireless keyboard make sure you have the latest drivers."

Is there something I could missing here in the Windows set up? I don't have a joystick/gamepad connected to my system... just my keyboard.

Is this problem likely to be related to my graphics card? Any ideas on how I might be able to fix it?

The graphics are also very grainy however I believe this can be corrected through the use of GLIDOS. Becuase the ATI Graphics Card was not supported by EIDOS would you recommend the use of this application? Is there anything info I should know that will enable to start and play a better quality of TR?

Thanks heaps

YES, USE GLIDOS!!!
It's a god-send for me and many, many other TR fans. And I can verify that it works without sending viruses into your registry or anything. Although I don't knwo if it works on ME.
The spinning menu ring probably wouldn't be caused by your graphics card, since you were running it in software mode and it doesn't even use any hardware (yet- that's what Glidos does)
I did have this problem, but then I WAS using a gamepad and just pressing left or right stopped it, but then I suppose you've tried that.
Isn't there a patch for TR1 for Windows ME? Are you using it?

I have tried GLIDOS and I didn't know how to use it. But what I'm really asking is...
Do either of you know how in the heck to fix the default key????? :mad: I've tried everything!!!!!! I just can't get it. I know how to change the user keys, except for the back spot which is blank and when I hit enter it kicks me out of the game. Also I can't seem to save the key changes because 2 keys were Ctrl, and for one of them I need it to be Esc, but when I try to enter Esc it kicks me out. By the way this is TR3 I'm trying to fix, but know one has replied. Can you help me please?????????? :rolleyes:
