Runs like a champ on my machine.  What was the problem you were having?

the game, when installed, should run just fine. But if the problems you 
have is with the installation itself, thats normal. IIRC the gamefiles 
is on the cd so you don't have to install, just copy the game content 
directly from the cd.

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.
