No GUI, only DOS window at start

Post by kosuan »

Hi,
today i have re-installed Win98SE and now ScummVM doesn't work anymore on my PC. :( :roll:
No matter which version i use, i only get a DOS Window at the start.
One line on it which reads ' ScummVM uses C:/ Windows/ScummVM.ini' :!:

Also the pc freezes, when i quit ScummVM.

May someone help me to get it going again ? :?

two things come to mind:

- try deleting scummvm.ini (just in case)
- FAQ 5.15 might help (setting video driver to windib)

thanks for your quick reply !
As a 'workaround' i have (more by chance 8)) removed 'modern.ini' - and

it works again, the old style - but works

later i will try FAQ 5.15 ff and report here the solution. hopefully..... :roll:

Now it works fine !!
Like it's discribed in 5.17 i created an batchfile scummvm.bat with the following lines:

@echo off
set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib
set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=waveout
scummvm.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

and dropped it into the scummvm-folder. The app starts by doubbleklic on that file.
