Thanks for responding, Raymond.

Actually I downloaded this patch and then downloaded the 1.4 patch, but
I still get the "Invalid CDROM!" error.

Descent 3 worked fine when I was using windows 98, but I haven't been
able to get the game to run since I've upgraded to Windows XP.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt
