Ok, here is the deal. This is fyi if any body else has problems with this awsome game. The problem I had was running the game on a HOME BUILT system running XP HOME EDITION. I kept getting an error message telling me that there was no disk in the drive. I could not run the game normaly from the desk top like any other game. When I did the screen was all screwed up and running with the XP compatibility mode also did nothing. Solution!!!! I went into MY COMPUTER--PROPERTIES-----HARDWARE-----DEVICE MANAGER----DISPLAY ADAPTERS-----THEN DISABLED THE CARD. The only problem is having to do this every time to run the game. A friend has it running on a new GATEWAY system with no problem. Hope this helps anyone who has a problem like this. Dave
