Thanks, Lanwench for your reply. I haven't contacted the
developer yet. I am downloading SP4 as I type this. Do
you think this will help fix this problem with this game
not playing? Why would a game developer say their game
plays in Win 98, ME, and XP, but not in Win2000?
Thanks for anyone's help.
Any other ideas on assuring compatibility or interoperability?
Thank you,
john h
