Can anyone tell me, Is this game to play on XP or only 95/98, 2000/ME?. I can have this game from a woman who dont want it anymore and it look a nice game to me, now I have looked in Revieuws and revieuw 1 tells me you can play at XP and Revieuw 2 says you cant, its only for Windows 95/98/ME/2000. This game is from around 2002. Who can tell me if I cant or cant play this game? Is there a remake from it? And can I play it on my XP PC to change something so I can play this older game? ( but I am very stupid with PC so if you know how please explain it in simple words to me) ,thanks.

All I can say is that I have played this game on my PC and I have XP and it was fine. I guess it may depend on what edition of the game you have. luck

Hi linda,

This is more of a tech question than hints help, so I'll move this thread across to Glitches. wave

I don't recall any issues running the game under XP (with the exception of a few bugs). But... if you're having problems, try changing the compatibility mode settings to Windows 2000 (or Windows 98).

This article explains how to adjust the settings -

Another thing you might try is to set the game to use software mode instead of hardware mode. Even when the game first came out, the hardware mode was buggy.

thanks for the article, I know now what to do and how to change the settings into 98. And it works.
