I did see that. if you read my edit. my question was how to install it. and for mow I have to use it in the applications dir. but it would be nice for a way to install it so I dont need to copy files and stuff if I install something that not work. You create a subdirectory off of your root (can be anything) but let's called it 2KDLLS You then modify your variables in SYSTEM in Control Panel and add "C:\2KDLLS" to the end. You then uncompress the files in the wrapper and make note of the filenames. Now you copy the equivalent files from the SYSTEM32 directory to the C:\2KDLLS folder except you add "_ORG" to the filename. Example: So copy kernel32.dll from c:\winnt\system32 to c:\2KDLLS\kernel32_org.dll You then copy the wrapper .dll's to the game directory. The wrapper .dll in the game directory redirects to the reall .dll in C:\2KDLLS. This is in the text file included with the wrapper.

Hey guys, I've been a browser (but not really a poster) of the forums for the last couple of years. Decided to post a link to my PC Game Compatibility list to get your thoughts. http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=8784 The list first started out as a simple text file and began with NT4/2000 Beta 3 testing all the way back in 1999. I didn't have the list sooner than that because although my collection was big PC gaming wasn't as convulted as it is today. If it was a DOS game I would just boot into DOS mode in Windows 98. If it was a Windows game and didn't require D3D then I'd just play it in NT4. When Windows 2000 came out combining the stability of NT with the gaming support of 9x then things started to come together. As you can see from the list I've put Windows 98 back on this list but I haven't gotten around to testing it since obviously 98 isn't used that much. NT4 is still on the list and I do some testing every once in awhile but testing has primarily been focused on the newer operating systems. (XP/2003 64bit, Vista 32/64bit). Just thought I'd post a link here in case you guys didn't know about it and if you have any thoughts on the list. P.S. No comments on bashing the excel list. Eventually in some distance future it will be put into a database but an spreadsheet is very portable and easier for the enduser if they wish to modify it themselves.

zen69x and I worked on it a couple of years ago. I gave up trying because I didn't have the time but he kept plugging away and this thread is where he announced that he finally got it working in full: http://www.compatdb.org/ubbthreads.php/ubb...r/136582/page/1 I would forward the email he sent me but I'd have to dig around to find it. The thread @ Ars may be all you need assuming he hasn't refined the process further: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums...51003605631/p/1 I haven't touched the project since that time so I'm not sure if any recent updates will invalidate the process or not. Hope the above is helpful to you.
