Bug #: 34636 Summary: In Win95/98 mode Earthworm Jim demo reports missing dispdib.dll Product: Wine Version: 1.7.3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: winebugs140@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified

The message reads 'Bad or missing dispdib.dll - error 11'. It doesn't show up in WinXP mode, but you need to set Win95/98 mode to get sound working. The problem occurs on Windows Vista too if you use Win95 compatibility mode.

I don't get anything in the log. The demo unpacks files in DOS, but then you obtain a normal Windows app.

Tested with: Windows Vista (without Wine), GeForce 9600M GS--the program works fine here Ubuntu 13.04, GeForce 9600M GS (NVIDIA driver 313) Mac OS X 10.7.5, ATI HD 2600 Pro, Mac Driver/X11

--- Comment #2 from Chris Wyatt wyattmeister@gmail.com --- In the current version of WINE (6.3) you do not get this error; however the game crashes with a black screen if you try to run in Windows 95, 98 or ME mode.

--- Comment #3 from Chris Wyatt wyattmeister@gmail.com --- Never mind. It seems if you wait around for a couple of minutes (in Windows 95 mode), you do get the error about dispdib.dll, and then the game seems to start and run without any noticeable issues.

I should have been clearer that the game hangs rather than crashes.

Found another game with same error message:

https://web.archive.org/web/20201231220908/https://thisoldrecliner.neocities...

The error dialog is not critical and can be dismissed. The game is still playable.

The game specifically checks if it's being run under Win9x or WindowsNT based systems.

--- quote --- The problem occurs on Windows Vista too if you use Win95 compatibility mode. --- quote ---

If you use the "lie about OS version" appcompat feature on Windows this is by design/expected. See the disassembly above.

I don't see the point of this bug report. Wine behaves exactly the same as modern NT-based Windows versions. The fullscreen mode "hack" for win16 apps can't work by design here. It's not needed anyway.
