I'll try that, but I find it quite odd that it all works for you guys, but nothing does for me. I don't suppose there are any emulations for XP that allow you to run things as Windows 98 products?(Not referring to virtual PC or anything) I mean there are products that are classed as non-XP compatible, like Discworld Noir, so I would have assumed some programmer at some point would have cooked something up.

You can set the game exe to run as older windows versions"
I'll just ditto David R, perhaps if there aren't any solutions, I'll refer to a more Windows OS specialist forum, but their last solution to something was 'buy more ram'

Reason why most people hate computers then? Actually I've compared my machine to those with same/similar spec and they run much better, the difference between my computer and my sister's is that hers has a faster processor and mine has a better graphics card, yet she has no performance issues. With a typical 0-3% of processing power used I can't see my processor to be the problem.
But that's another problem, it had it's thread and the only solutions were more RAM or new computer
