Starts fine here under both 98SE and XP Pro in a dual-boot system. Using a
Radeon 64DDR VIVO - 7200.
Have you first tried to start it in the game using it's "Safe Mode"
shortcut?

> Have Windows XP Pro (SP1) with ATI RADEON 7500 video card on a dual boot
system with Windows ME on the other partition. Installed Links 2003 on both
partitions and it works fine with ME but can't get it to work on the XP.
When I click the Links icon the window opens (normal size) with the hour
glass cursor and it doesn't get past that with the system itself hanging
sometimes. I can never get to the title page of Links. Help sources suggest
it is a video card problem and specifically 3D. I installed the MS
"Links2k3Patch102.exe" patch and latest DirectX with same results. Did the
DirectX check and all look fine. It must be the combination of XP and the
RADEON 7500 card as I stated above the same hardware works fine on the other
partition with ME. Tried several ATI RADEON drivers including the latest one
as suggested in the literature. None get it working. Then used the driver
that Windows Update suggested - again no dice. Same result using the windows
default driver. Are there video setttngs that might work?
