However, I first suggest that you check you have the latest video drivers for your video card (try www.drivershq.com). This will often fix the problem. Otherwise, go to the M$ site and find the patch under downloads.	Guest (0)

If there is no shortcut icon for the program, use the right mouse button to click the program's icon, and then click Create Shortcut on the menu that appears. Use the right mouse button to click the shortcut icon, and then click Properties on the menu that appears. On the Program tab, click Advanced. Click the Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows check box to select it. Click OK. Try to run the program by double-clicking its shortcut icon. If the program runs, stop here. If the program still does not run, repeat the above steps but click the MS-DOS Mode check box to select it. Click OK. Try to run the program by double-clicking its shortcut icon.	Guest (0)
