Hi,
I am running XP Home Edition.
I have ATI Rage 128 PRO Video card.
I have DirectX 8.1 compatible driver.
1300 MHZ AMD Athlon Processor.
Plenty to be compatible with this game!
I don’t know whether or not I have the Open GL though that is needed to play the game with DirectX 8.0
The game crashes when I try and play it.
I have attempted to download the Open GL from OpenGL.com but I get, “Only for Win 95 or 98”.
What’s Up! Why can’t I play this game on this PC.
Replies are welcome.
Thanks.

A lot of other people have your problems. Notes :
- You don’t need to download OpenGL or DirectX for Win XP.
2.Go to vid card maker’s web site and get latest drivers. - There is no WIN.INI setting to tweak in Win XP (like DVA=0).
- After installing the new drivers goto ‘RUN’ and type in ‘DXDIAG’ and do a check for DirectX 8.1.
- Install Win XP Service pack - I think it has a new OPENGL.DLL (check in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32).
- If this fails - wait for WIN XP SP2 or install Win 98. Else, get a new card that says it supports Win XP proper …
