Welcome to the forums.

What OS is your new box running?

well, works fine for me all the way up to XP Pro, haven't tried XP Home yet.

Works fine and All Operating Systems, Well it does for me anyway.

I'm using XP Pro, and it's OK.

Is it windows based? I've never played OP1 before. If its DOS based, you can get emulators that will allow it to run better on windows. If its Windows based, even 95, it should work on even XP. Maybe bad download/install? Happens occasionally.

It's a win3.1 game. It *should* run on XP (you may have to right click the exe and set it to Win95 compatibility mode, however)

For running it on XP Home / XP Pro, there's no difference. the kernels of both are exactly the same (pro just has more network-admin type of crap in it)

Btw Baikon.. it's a joke getting most good DOS games to run on XP.. what you gotta do is make a dos bootdisk with CD, mouse, and sound and boot directly to dos, and run the game.

yes XP hates DOS based applications. (thumbsdown)

I had this wierd problem with op1, the bottom of the reshurch trees would never show up, everything else would work fine, but I could never reshurch any of the social sciences, I wonder why

Kiith Somtaaw · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2004, 10:59:50 AM »

How Rare.

I can Research the entire tree on my computer,

Hmm

Try installing it again.
But I doubt it would work.
