Moving to an XP machine has unforunately made this Microprose classic, Sword of the Samurai, unable to run without sound. It locks up on the title screen unless I choose no sound. I'm using a hacked copy I got off of HOTU some time ago. (I actually have the original 3.5 disks and a 286 to run them on, but I miss playing it off the desktop.)

Especially, I want to be able to play it so I extract the MIDI from the game, as it has excellent sound. I compose game MIDI quite a bit and I like to pick apart old stuff.

Any ideas on how to get it going? Anyone played it? You can reply to me at mduncan@pobox.com or here.
