Upgraded PC, New Problems
   

I have all the Ultimas and was able to play them all.
I upgraded motherboard, PC, sound card and video card.
Now I have lots of frustration...

Ultimas were installed from the Ultima Collection CD, Ascension CDs and floppy disks (Worlds of Ultima, Underworlds).

1. Ultima 2 hangs on the title screen, with or without "upgrade".

2. Ultima 5 upgrade (music) not working.

3. Savage Empire will not install VGA/MCGA ("Graphics conversion failed") though it did on my old system, and my brother's disks have the same problem.

4. Underworld 2 has no sound or music (may be due to memory management).

5. Serpent Isle hangs on the introduction movie, I have music but a black screen. It runs fine as long as I skip the movie...

Any help would be appreciated.

Ultima VII and Serpent Isle should be run through Exult.

I run the rest through DOSBox.

I'm using Windows98SE and Ron Windeyer's utility for running BG, SI and Pagan in Windows. I was able to run all of them using the Ultima Launcher utility.

I was able to run all of them through Windows before the upgrade, now I'm looking for help on specific problems with some of them.

Savage Empire, in Windows or on a DOS boot, will not install VGA/MCGA graphics, and 16 color just doesn't cut it.

DOSBox won't fix these problems, and I'm not looking to play a conversion just yet.

I'd appreciate any help resolving the specific problems I mentioned above (including a good memory management setup or utility).
