I hope someone here can help me.

I am running XP pro in my PC and am having Problems with nearly all my games !!!

I am getting wingdings type characters instead of text in Black and White.

Red alert 2 and Messiah are unplayable when the bother to load at all

and the Sims disks take ages to load up .

I have a thunderbird 1400

Abit KG7

512Mb DDR Ram

80Gb Seagate Barracuda

Matrox G400

I have converted my drive back to FAT32 and re-installed everything and still no better.

All the Software is genuine ( I'm a mug I know !) so I cannot even blame it on Pirate copies !!

Any Ideas ?

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)
