Actually I dont know what error I was getting... I got it to run fine under 2k pro with no changes to nothing... only problem was the video kept going screwey on me. I took someone else's suggestion of getting the debug versions of dx8 and that solved the problem but now I have problems with other games.... O well time to set up that p200 in the corner for MOO2 and Civ2 exclusively :P

Actually it is time to go to XP, no need for those standby pc's. W2K is to XP what Win95 was to Win98SE, out of date. Both games you mentioned work fine for me on XP as well as Dos games like ALien Legacy, Mom. With sound.Comment

You have Alien Legacy?!?

Yup, twice. I played a third time a couple of weeks ago, but have not finished that one. The point where you go to war and have to make space station with level 6 research is very tedious. I loved the exploration and finding artifact, some what like SMAC.Comment

XP almost made me cry with that damned play-skool look.

Not sure what you mean, but you can make it look anyway you want. All I know is I have had no problems, which is something I have not been able to say about any previous OS from big Bill.Comment

I will not go to XP - dont want the spyware or any of the cutesy stuff. SURE you can strip down XP so it dont look so retarded, but then you just have 2k, so why bother with XP?
AND I LIKE MY 2ND AND 3RD PC's - one is a mail/web server and the other is a linux project box so :PComment

The point is that 2K will not run many games that XP will.
Stability is better in XP and ease of use, all aspects are superior to NT/2K/9x.Comment

Right right but I also use this puter for professional use as well, and I can't stand XP. Anyway so far Moo2 is the only thing I have had (minor) problems with.
And lemme shoot some links for what I mean by spyware... must locate them.Comment

Install SP2 on win2k and it should do the trick...
it include some "compatibility patch".
I was not able to play moo2 on my win2k laptop until I got the service pack 2Comment

The natives are really troublemaker. Ok they are good at farming but that's it. In the middle and endgame when a high industrial output becomes important they just take away space. So there should be an option got get rid of them.Dance to Trance

Maybe they could allow you to displace them and pay something, some price. It could be money or research points or a new tech you would need. Just so it is not a freebie.Comment
