How? I just installed it, put it in WIN98 Compatibility mode and it runs quite nicely. Actually better than it did on WIN98. I have the SIMS, Livin Large, House Party and Hot Date in here. Now Hot Date is the buggy one. Ran for 45 days w/o a real hitch then boom......and the only way I can run it right now is with lighting turned off in game video.HAve the patch in too. I did have to change the video card (The V3-2000 was having some problems running it in XP..driver issue) so that's why this stupid ATI Radeon 7200 is in here.So that's when I updated the ATI drivers. Wasn't sure if I had a corrupted video driver issue, problem with the Vcard or something in Hot Date itself causing problems that corrupted.Still don't know and I'ev gone through all the known factors of the game that casue a crash or this kind of glitch and find nada zilch to cause it. File Cop finds nothing, and I have other proggies. Did find some duplicate ID's and moved them out too.
Also I fought the SB Live card with it too on install. Had to get the drivers from Creative and roll back the ones from M$. Then the sound was good and the game ran ok.
