Glidos provides three enhencements to Tombraider. There's an audio pack that is useful in two ways. It provides the background music that is missing on some versions of the Tombraider CD, and it adds extra effect sounds at key points in the game to match the Playstation version. To use the audio pack, download it from here, install it and use Glidos's "Adjust" button to set the Redbook setting under "Audio & Movies" to "Use Audio pack".Similarly there is a FMV pack, which provide higher quality Movies. To use the FMV pack, download it from here, install it and use Glidos's "Adjust" button to select "Use FMV pack" under "Audio & Movies".
There are also texture packs available from the Tombraider Xtra site. These vastly improve the look of the game. There are various versions, created by different authors. To use a texture pack, just download it, install it and use Glidos's "Adjust" button to select it (Make sure you don't have "Use old-style texture pack" checked.
