Running Black & White on Windows 10

Hello, i installed it via abbandonware. ( ISO ) All 3 important patches too. Game starts. Once in the menu or when the intro video starts, i get fractales / Glitches or whatever they are called. can play it that way. Anyone a solution ?
Try the DDrawCompat or dgVoodoo2 libraries. Note that these currently don't work with the Ultimate mod since it uses its own custom ddraw.dll. You might also consider reporting the issue to the GPU manufacturer so they can maybe fix their shitty drivers.
 
(I am on windows 11)I can't seem to even install black and White. I installed the Rip from Abbandonware and used the Setup application as an administrator, but it then doesn't do anything other than show the menu in the image. And when I do save and exit nothing happens, and patch 1.1 says that black and white isn't installed.image_2025-07-17_113214197.png
Also I am occasionally encountering this

So i've just installed and run succesfully B&W on windows 11 though it first didn't even let me run setup.
For all those having problem running setup, or getting error on InstallShield6:
Mount CD. Go to CD folder and right click on setup.exe -> propereties and tick "Run as Administrator" option -> OK. Now open start menu (windows button on keybord) and typy CMD but don't press enter, instead right click on it and select Run as Admininstrator. Then in CMD type the CD location for example "E:" which will change commands location to B&W CD.
Lastly just type "setup.exe" and instalation will start. From this You will follow previous instructions (Patch 1.1 1.2 1.42 and Audio)
Sadly i couldn't run my native Polish version.
