What sort of error messages are you getting? Sometimes its not Windows that's the problem, but the speed of modern processors. Have a look round on the net for a program called "moslo". It might help. Ant

All you need to do is go to the subdirectory on the CD, and copy all the files to a subdirectory on your hard drive. Run the setup program, to setup all the parms for the game (sound card, etc,) and you will be set to run the game directly from the hard drive instead of the CD. Have had no problem playing the game this way under Win98. Ralph
