Hello,

Im new to this board and I thank you for looking at this post!

I got a copy of dark omen from ebay (original package and all) and it worked straight away! (cpu graphics but still just wanted it for the awesome rts action)

I then installed 'Dark Omen expanded 2', this worked but I decided that ill play through the original campaign first so I uninstalled everything then reinstalled, now the game goes into the intro but wont go any further.

Anyone know whats going on? (i have tried the windows 7 fixes and what not, also
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ElectronicArts\DarkOmen\1.0\Options\]
is what is in my registry not
 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ElectronicArts\DarkOmen\1.0\Options\Options]
)

Hi Welcome, it's a Great Time to Join ->

http://forum.dark-omen.org/introduction/great-time-to-join-t696.0.html

In future, install Dark Omen and the fixes but then make a copy of the entire folder and rename it to Dark Omen Original and then you can install Dark Omen Expanded (and name it Dark OmenDOE2) into the copy and keep the 2 separate. Then all you have to do is decide what version you wish to play and rename it back to Dark Omen.

As for your problem, try applying the fixes again, after you have reinstalled (Full installation and Right Click on Setup.exe to install as Adminstrator etc) and ensure you registry settings are;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Dark Omen\1.0\Options\Options]
"Selected"="1"
"SoftwareSelected"="228"

Thanks for that Olly,

Ill try that, but again the registry is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ElectronicArts\DarkOmen\1.0\Options\]

and the only other option in that is

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ElectronicArts\DarkOmen\1.0\Options\Multi\]

So you will have to edit your registry to make it have the additional options

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Dark Omen\1.0\Options\Options]
"Selected"="1"
"HardwareSelected"="380"
"SoftwareSelected"="356"
"MMXSelected"="160"
"ToolTips"="1"
"MusicVolume"="474"
"SFXVolume"="783"
"SoftwareSoundQuality"="2"
"SoftwareParticleQuality"="2"
"MMXSoundQuality"="2"
"MMXParticaleQuality"="1"
"HardwareSoundQuality"="2"
"HardwareParticleQuality"="2"
"InformationNum"="0"

Or download and run this
