Yes, I know, but if using the XP files the settings are not kept [like chat, sound, etc], you need to reset them [including the starting nag boxes] every time you run those game executables.All settings remain the same way they were set last if using WinME files. BTW: I haven't noticed any faster performance when using the XP files. I found that after the second time of settin them you don't have to set them anymore. Just in case you change your mind. Have you ever consider replacing Character Map with Extended Character Map. I got it from your site.I aware of its existence others may not be.
