    Yes I check faqs and patches. None to be seen. The spes on my main are more then enough to run which is why I dont understand why it will run on my older one. But here is the specs


    233 mhz pentium, 64 mb ram. windows 98/me/xp/

    So as ya can see my big comp should run it, but only the little 800 mhz that thinks it can will run it...lol I dont get it.

    maybe big computer too fast for game as had that problem when using a helicopter game for 286/386 & was using it on a 486dx2-66. kept flying into hills as computer was too fast.

    Nah I dont think that is it ddp. I have other games by egames that require the same low specs and they all run fine on the big one. There is just something bout this game where it wont run on here. Hmm...:>
