Yeah . . .I read somewhere that if you install the big add-on patch and then the small patch (spdb_p1.zip) then it runs in XP. But i've tried and I get nothing. If I JUST install the add-on patch then i get FMV and menu but as soon as a track loads it crashes. Could it be graphics card related ??

Sorry to sound a bit thick . . .but I'm not sure i understand the question. Do you mean what commands did I use to mount my games folder and cd drive in dosbox . . .??
