Not that way, mate.

Fine, will someone please tell me how to get rid of this da...darn error?

Daxim's advice is well heeded -- a polite request for help will always be more likely to be answered (in pretty much any circumstance.) Also we did see the previous request, and I can promise you that no one read your question, knew the answer, but decided not to tell you for a laugh.
Let us know if the vesa tsr does anything (see other thread); failing that I don't know what to suggest.
If the error message is any more extensive, please write it down in full and let us know. I can't promise that would change things, but you really do need to give as much detail as possible if people are going to be able to help.
Good luck!

What do I do after I run the vesa fix exe(pop up program ready)? Do I just run TN or what?

To quote from the vesafix.txt file that was in the vesafix.zip archive that you downloaded:
Quote:
When installed, the program eats about 2kb of dos memory, so either run it before the game/tool you want to fix or put it into your autoexec.bat.
Just to be sure, that means from dos (and using an example path to the game directory)
c:\tnova\> vesafix
c:\tnova\> tn
which would run vesafix.com and tn.bat respectively.
Of course, you might also want to take into account ShadowJack's advice posted in the vesafix thread that you read, and use
c:\tnova\> vesafix -6
in order to disable VESA 8-bit pallette support.
And if that fixes the problem, you'd probably want to add the line
vesafix
(or vesafix -6)
into the tn.bat file, to automatically run it when you run the game.
(All of the above assuming that you extracted the vesafix files into the c:\tnova directory (or rather, whatever directory you actually installed the game into.))

Addition: to save the 2 KB for conventional memory, load the TSR into high memory, thus:
> loadhigh vesafix -6

Okay I think I might be getting closer to glory. I did exactly what u said at the command prompt and it gave me the "cannot find movies" error. But I see them in the TN directory so I dont know wts wrong with it.
Any ideas?

NM!I got it working for some weird reason! I tried something that I tried a long time ago that didnt work before, but for some reason now it does!It turned out I didn't need vesafix after all, but thx antyway shadow. Now all I need is to fix the sound.
<IMG SRC="mad2.gif" border="0">
Problem Description: Sound sets up great in the TN set up and it all works. But for some reason its not saving my sound cfg. In fact its not saving anything I change in the game options.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Thats a double NM, ever since I rebooted I cant get it to work again, and Im pretty sure Im doing the exact thing I did to make it work the first time.Damn it all.
