Hello homer,

No, homer, it won't work on Windows XP Professional if it doesn't work on
Windows XP Home Edition. Maybe you should try using Compatibility Mode.

Check out this link:

That might be able to allow you to run Viper Racing on Windows Xp.

Good Luck!

Regards,

Take a look in Help and Support for Compatibility Mode, which allows older
games like Viper Racing to "think" they're on Windows 98, for instance, and
also read this information:

Before you attempt to run the game, make sure you've got the 1.1 version
update and follow the installation instructions:

I've ran Viper racing on my XP pro.
I had the no-cd fix applied to it tho, so that may be why it works. If i can
find my CD back I'll see if it works w/o it.

(also make sure it's patched if they have any patches for the game)
