I've been trying for a couple of days now to get Emperor working in windows XP The game installs just fine, but when i come to play it I get the normal emperor startup flash screen then the whole screen goes dark as if it were loading the game, it stays like that for about 3 seconds then quits back to the desktop. I've tried the Replacing the Setup.exe with the one downloaded from the fix zip thingy, then installing the game then replacing the Emperor.exe with the one from that same fix zip thingy. Still the game wouldn't run.. did all that using my lowest cd rom drive aswell *shrugs* its been really annoying me. I buy this game and can't even play it. Is there anyone out there who can help me? pls. :'(
