always pb with emperor on XP

[domzique]

I've a dual athlon mp 1800+ system.

It's a sound post production home studio.

2X athlon 1800+

512 Mo

80 Go

Matrox G550

Win XP PRO

I already played emperor with my father's computer (thunderbird 500, 256mo, G400), and works with some crashing, but i was able to play with.

I now i must change my video card.

I have all patch, and i try everything, i haven't antivirus. I install several time Emperor. It doesn't work. I try to copy the game on the disk, and it doesn't work.

I scan my disks, as it said in an other forum, etc.....

I want to precise something important : any westwood game work in my computer. I also tried an hacked emperor, and it does not work.

I try tiberium sun, red alert, etc, any westwood game work.

But i can play with dungeon siege, never winter night, etc.

Thanks to help me.
