Having problems running EBFD in WIN XP Pro. Its starts with the first screen Emperor Battle for Dune, some disk activity, then goes back to desktop. I have tried running in Win98 Compatability mode but same results. I have tried re-installing several times (and with virus checkers disabled). attached is EZ & DXdiag. Direct3D results does look a bit suspect, it runs ok for dx7 tests but fails to run dx8. I have tried re-installing video drivers + going back to previous driver with same results. however I do know it did not always give this error. Also new games that does require DX8 runs with no problems as do the majority of all games that I have installed.
