if you do then:
Try to right click on the exe file and properties.
Under compatibliity click run this in compatiblity mode and choose windows 98 or ME

Hope this helps :)

169782 2003-08-23 05:22:00 Do you need SP1 installed for Compatability Mode?
I dont think you do...

Try setting it back to 98, or 95 if it'll let you, may help :-)

Sorry Chilling_Silently But you are wrong, that is a feature that MS brought out in SP1 :)

Sorry but you are wrong... Compatibility Mode came out with XP at release - in fact was in the betas, I was using/involved in.

Cheers, Babe.

Compatibility Mode is an original XP feature, no SPs needed.
