I cant get E. BFD to work in XP.

[WorldEater]

I installed Windows XP Home edition about 6 months ago (wiped the drive also), and I tried to install Emperor, Battle for Dune, about a week ago, and now it will not install/run right. It gets all the way to the end of installing (the 0%-100% thing) then dies. I know the disc works because I just installed it on a computer that has win 95, and it worked great. What can I do?

Attach your Dxdiag (Start/Search/Dxdiag/Save All Information/Post Here)

Do you have Service Pack One? What about Norton/Zone Alarm? And have you tried cleaning the disk anyway?
