I should be asking, can viper be run under xp at all? Can i run it with the
original version? If so, how?

Add "-nocanary" switch (without the quotes of course) at the end of
the target line in the shortcut properties.

Yes. You need to download the beta patch for it though...

Not needed if you have the patch.

I think the threading is messed up here.

I believe -nocanary is to run it without the CD. It does not make the game
compatible with XP.

You have to have the beta patch for that.

I have no idea if -nocanary works with the beta patch. I don't need it
because I use Daemon Tools.

something like this:

Definately :)

Hmm... VR wouldn't run without the -nocanary switch in Win2k and
WinXP before the beta patch.

Not necessarily, but it does fix the sound problem...

It obviously "works" with the beta patch as I still use the same
shortcut to start VR as I did before the patch ;-)

How exact do you add the "-nocanary" switch, my target looks like this:
"C:\Viper Racing\Viper Racing.exe"
