I haven't played this game in years, I found 2 to be alright, and 3 on the 
xbox is nothing to write home about.  So ... for the hell of it I loaded up 
thief on my pc ... only the bloody graphics don't work ... it's the same 
hardware that ran the game all those years ago but the os is now xp and not 
98 .... where can I find a patch, the whole run this proggy in 98 function 
doesn't appear to be working...

any help would be great thanks

Gotta do it from a command line....

Setup.exe -LGNTFORCE

This will allow it to install on XP.
