Hi

I have this old game from EA and I am trying to get it to work in xp. It installs fine but when I come to run it the program doesnt even try to run just a slight pause then nothing. I've tried all the compatibility modes still nothing. Has anybody got this to work in Xp?

Unfortunatly, I don't own the game, but I may try to help you with possible solution

Try to run windows 95 or windows 98 on a virtual machine in virtual pc or vmware and check if the game work. If not, try a windows 2000 virtual machine

I have found out that if you install the game from a "D" drive with multiple cd drives the game will look for the last drive letter to run with the cd. SO as I have a "D" and "E" cd drives in my computer it looks for the cd to be in the "E" drive. Still even though i managed to get to a splash screen this time the game still quit out shortly after. I have tested this in XP and windows 98 virtual machines. Sorry havent got windows 200 to try this on
