I have Carm2 v2.0 under Windows 98 SE and your command doesn't work :sad:

(Carma2.exe -config and carma2_hw.exe -config)

You need to make a shortcut to carma2.exe and then right click->properties then in the target text field you type -config and press OK.

I guess you better do:

cd "C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now" (with the quotes because of the spaces in the path)

and then

'Carma.exe -config'

or -setup

(and there's a third one, but i forgot)

A slash, not a -

:crazy:

I tried a bunch of commands :

"C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe /setup"

"C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe -setup"

"C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe /config"

"C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe -config"

"C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe /lapmylovepump"

but anything works.

The shortcuts too.

I also tweaked the registry : DrvGuid -> 1 but .... no!

:shock:

If that doesn't work (even though it should!), there's another way too...

rename the Carma2_HW.exe to something else, then try to run carma2.exe ...an error will show up saying it can't find the executable. hit ok.

Then rename the exe back to Carma2_HW.exe and try carma2.exe again... the loader will be back.

Yeah "C:\Program Files\Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now\carma2.exe" /setup is the right one!!

thanks!!

Usually (like for Half-life) it's something like this : "C:\HL.exe -dev"...

Great ! :thumbsup:

(it took some efforts, but anyways :lol: )

I don't like programs like carma in folders with spaces in the name. Mine is in d:\carma2; no quotes needed
