Hello there, In my entire collection of pc games, this is currently the only game im unable to run in ANYWAY. It either crash back to the desktop or I get a long string of error message that seems to be about the intro video not being able to be loaded

Tried on

My windows 7 computer (64 bits) and I remember in the past that It was not working on my windowx XP computer

-Vmware
Win 95
Win 98
Windows 2000
Win XP

Anybody is able to run that one?

Demo works fine for me from NT4 to Vista 64bit. After that I've only tried it on 7 64bit and it works fine there.

Links 2003 won't start for me, I've been trying to find a fix for it for quite some time with no luck. Links 2001 seems to work tho... strange.

I bought both links golf 2001 and 2003 NEW and both do not work on windows 7 ultimate 64 bits. Link Golf 2001 work perfectly on VMWare with windows 2000 virtual pc however. Link 2003 simply can't, but after a few tries, I was able to get farther than before by messing with the compatibility. Im now able to run the game but as soon as

1. start a game
2. switch my video option to nvidia geforce 285 (my video card)

the game crash
