If refresh rate is not tempered with, lemmings will crash when loading up. Each intro screen would flash once after it fades. The problem was "solved" by playing with refresh rate and have the screen in animation mode. However, everytime I try to change the "wallpaper", E/D would crash after I cycle through some "wallpapers". I suspect that the problem is with the video card. I have an ATI Mach64 VRAM VESA 1.2, P5-90 with pluto chipset motherboard, 750 MB EIDE Western Digital, 16 MB RAM, DOS 6.22 Any suggestions? Hank.
