Try messing around with all the advanced settings, try this one here (WAW is not set like this, just an Example).

Also older games use 16bit Color, so change your Desktop REZ to 16bit Color. Plus Older games sometimes won't run at all with new drivers,

so you may have to use drivers from around the time the game was released.

Ahhhhh, I didn't think about the drivers. But how far back can I go and this GXT 260 will still work? I also haven't tried it on one of my other machines. The game may just not like multi core CPU's. I did try all the different compatability modes, back when the game was new I was running W2K. But I got the same error with all the older modes, except Win 98/ ME, it wouldn't even try to run. Oh well, it was an experiment.

Hey, now, wonder if Win 7 will run it? That would be something!

Scavy, I got that desktop background from Digital Blasphemy. They have a ton of cool desktops. I replaced it today with another one (see "what's on your Desktop" thread). Chris.
