I am going to experiment tonight with XP's compatibility modes to see if I can get it to work. I know people have said that not even XP's compatibility modes fix the problem but I would still like to try all combinations. I would also like to run some tests on the attributes of gamex86.dll to see if there are any that can be set to alter how XP loads it. >.

I did have a Win 2000 PC but the hard disk went to disk heaven :-(, it would have been interesting to see if Win 2000 would run it. I still have some laptops running older versions of Windows, I will have to try it on these. Cheers Stephen Howe
