So, here I sit, another night unable to play Dune 2000...(sigh) A little history; I am one of those guys that got the game back in '98, when it cost upwards of $80 when it first came out. Whatever 286/386/486 system I had back then (in the dark ages) ran it like a kitten. So after playing it a ba-zillion times, I lent it out to a friend...and never got it back. BUT...I had also discovered Command and Conquer and then...Emperor...Battle For Dune...which I all own and play. Then a co-worker and I were talking about the games we played (a few years ago) and I mentioned Dune 2000...lo and behold, he had the game but could not get it to run. He gave it to me and with some fooling around...I got it to run. THEN..disaster struck. I got a virus, had to back up my HD and restore my PC to factory settings... ...now, for the life of me - I cannot get it to run. I have perused some of the postings for the XP (which I still run) fixes and have played around with the compatability modes, the -g...but it still freezes to the blank screen (with music) after the video ends (..."we of the sisterhood have seen blah blah blah") Here's the funny part; I am running a DELL Inspiron 2200 with XP, the same system who someone had mentioned they easily had the game running on....F%$#!^&*%$#@*&!!!!! I would pull my hair out, if I had any left. But instead I play Emperor again, and again and again... Anyone think they might have something that would help? Thanks! Cranky
