Hi Jimmy. Thanks for the advice you gave me. Game still
doesn't work, but only one error came up: Can't run 16
bit windows program. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jason

XP has a special sandbox that is enabled when 16 but apps
are run. You might try to disable it. Sorry I don't know
how to do it but there's a knowledge base article on it.
Hope that helps.
 
Hi Jimmy,
Yes, I tried everything available in the compatability
mode,no help. Could the compatibility wizard be my
problem? Is there any way to troubleshoot that?
 
Hi Jason,

Possibly it would work in a 16bit DOS Environment:

Two (free/shareware) solutions exist: DOSBOX is one:
of them: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php
and TameDos was brought to my attention by Chris H.:
http://www.tamedos.com/downloads/downloads.htm

Give us some feedback on those. Which one did you
find the easiest to use; most adaptable; the fastest? :-)
