Anyone know if it is possible to get this to run on Window 7?

I installed it and tried running it under the old compatibility tab but no joy. Really miss that game.

No help I'm afraid but I'd be interested to know too, as I was toying with installing it again the other day. Have you checked to see if there are any official or unofficial patches that help it run? Worth a Google if you haven't as lots of older games can be made to run on Win 7 with fan-made patches or file tweaks.

It runs fine for me when I start it through Steam, it says it's v1.4 so maybe you need a patch to get it to run? It doesn't work in widescreen but that's hardly a big issue!

Mine is the original disk, pre steam. didnt even know it was on steam lol.

Hmmmm ok some more investigating is needed this weekend then. If all else fails I might just get it again from steam.

Thanks.


Edit: Just found this on Steam forum. Might be a simple graphics issue but wont know until tonight.
