I've just RE-installed Emperor...again. This time it actually made it to 100% thx to some of your posts here (i copied the CD to my HD and installed from there with CD in). However it does not run at all. I've used the start menu shortcut, my desktop shortcut. Even putting in the Atreides CD and autorunning didn't work. It acts like it will, bringing up the "EMPEROR" PIC but then disappears and Nuthin happens. I'm running Win XP Home Pentium 2.4ghz 1 gig PC4000 ram ATI 9800 Pro and Version 1.9.0.0 any help would be appreciated...:D
