FthrJACK Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Windows XP runs games beter than win98 in my experiance.. anyway, check you have all the latest drivers installed for sound and graphics then maybe try again, what programs have you got installed? ( eg norton sysworks, zonealarm etc ) also please could you post more info on your pc? sound card, graphics card, etc, and id recomend XP to be on NTFS formated with the winXP cd (boot the cd from startup and format the drive to NTFS ) dont do the fast option. (try that later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
