Isn't there a "compatibility mode" option if you right click on the .exe file and click on "properties"?

There is on XP anyway  :huh:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Is your operating system 32bit or 64 bit?

Right, done it!

Download 'NGlide', then install that. Then find and download 'dd2c2tc', it is a mod so has all kind of extras in it which is ossum, better than I remember  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
