If I remember right, Unreal was written with the first iteration of the 
Unreal Engine -
and has pretty big compatibility issues with Windows XP..

The only way to get Unreal 1 (what a classic) working in XP is to install it 
and run it through Unreal Tournament 99's frontend.. the program's called 
something retro.. or retro something.. gimme a minute and I'll look it up..

ebay for unreal 1 - sure to find an original copy!

best of luck though!! :) -
