Carmageddon 2 on Vista - not possible?

As the subject says, is this possible? I have the original game, but it simply says 'Not working on Windows NT' when I try to start it. I have of course tried the Compability-tab with 95 and 98/Me support, but it makes no different.

I have searched for solutions but I was unable to find anyone myself - hopefully someone out there is smarter than me.

I think we all can agree on that we need a new Carmageddon game.ForsbergFan21

There's a new one in the works. You can find some info on it here on GS.

Nevermind I found more info elsewhere saying that Carmageddon 4 was cancelled. :(

Alright, that made the game running, but without any sound - any idea how to fix it? Its not very fun without sound. :(Blaahval

Try running simply Carma2_hw.exe instead of carma2.exe. That might work, although my copy of Carma2_hw.exe might be rigged. I downloaded a patch to make this game work under XP with a gamepad. The patch included GlideFX and a rigged copy of Carma2_hw.exe. Now, I have GlideFX installed and when I run Carma2_hw.exe under Vista, the game works with a gamepad and with sound. If anyone's interested, I've uploaded that patch here (http://rapidshare.com/files/83882034/carma2PatchAndGlideWrapper.zip.html). Install GlideWrapper and replace your current copy of Carma2_hw.exe with the one in this zip file. (Of course, make a backup copy of your current Carma2_hw.exe just in case). Then right-click Carma2_hw.exe, and click the Compatibility Tab. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2". Also check "Run in 640x480 screen resolution". I have everything else unchecked. Click ok, then double-click on Carma2_hw.exe and cross your fingers!

-Cheers.

A new Carma would be fantastic.... I pretty much gew up playing the series, along side others like MechWarrior (another franchise that needs to be ressurected - which just might ) - and it still is a hoot playing them (minus TDR200).

Still the source material of the game was awesome, so its no wonder the Carma series is so great.
Death Race 2000 - best B grade, grindhouse era film ever.

have never seen Death Race 2000, but after I found out that Carmageddon was based off of it, I want to see it. Anyway I did enjoy TDR2000 to some degree, but when you compare it to the other games in the series it just doesn't come anywhere close to them. Also I agree, MechWarrior needs to be resurrected and MechCommander needs to comeback too.smokeydabear076

Many thanks to you reponzo01! I Just got it working on my vista laptop with what you've suggested; although in my case I needed to keep the resolution the same or else it just went visually crazy. Regardless, thanks a lot!
