Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

[pmgolf]

Here is the RuKsHuK.exe file:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cderjb86 ... vgrt4&dl=0

Rename the one in your /Links 2003/directory (to "old" plus RuKsHuK.exe) and put this new one in that directory with the name RuKsHuK.exe. Now it will not ask you to put in Disk #1 when you play the game.

VideoCard.txt file in the /Links 2003/ directory. If your videocard is NOT listed in it! Run "DxDiag" on the command line, "save" the printout, and follow these instructions:

Command line: Type DxDiag and "save" the results [ This will help you add a line to your VideoCard.txt file in /Links 2003/ ]

[[ DxDiag.txt listing]]

Vendor = 0x10b4 "nVidia"
Vendor = 0x12d2 "nVidia"
Vendor = 0x10de "nVidia" --------------> This is what we're looking for - matches the DxDiag listing
Vendor = 0x1022 "nVidia"

Look down the list for your 6 digit Device ID number (far left column)

0x0181 = "GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU A" [[ last nVidia Device ID listed ]]
RenderEqualZ [[ This is some parameter for the above device ID ]]
0x1C82 = "GeForce 1050 Ti" [[ Your nVidia Device ID - Added! ]]

>< I couldn't find a line for mine: "GeForce 1050 Ti", so I added it with the quotes and the Device ID. Your card name will replace mine. ><

Post if you have any questions.

Thanks Pete.

My card wasn't listed so I modified the Video.txt file without any problem and added my card, unfortunately it didn't help, the game still won't run.
