can anyone tell me how to run Q2 on XP?

it would not run properly when i tried it - i presume i require some kind of 
patch

thanks....TERRY


run it in win98 compatibility mode.  That should cure your problems.  I have 
had problems with it in winxp also, super lagg/slowmotion.   win98 
compatibility cures it.
