I have a problem with Tomb Raider 1. When I first installed the game and ran it, it got to the menu where you choose to start the game, but then hangs (black screen) at the start of the cutscene. I've played around with the graphics settings via the Graphic mode setup. When I choose direct 3d, the above happens. When I choose glide, It doesn't even get that far - it says 'chose pixel format failed'. Upon searching the forum, I noticed a few people having a similar problem, but no fix.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an I5 processor with an Nvidia Geforce GT630.

The game runs in Safe mode perfectly.

I have the exact same problem. I can´t play TR1

I managed to fix the problem by deleting a file called Glide2x.dll in the dosbox directory and using nglide instead of the glide that comes with the game.
Now it works with the graphics settings on direct3d no problems.
