Uh oh....Mobil 1 Rally Championship won't run after upgrading to XP

Uh oh....Mobil 1 Rally Championship won't run after upgrading to XP

Keyboard inputs go a bit crazy, so I tried compatibility mode.  2000 has the
same problem.  98/ME or 95 mode cure the keyboard input problem, but the
sound and controls and graphics are quite screwed.

Help!!!  This is still my favourite rally game and the first thing I have
encountered that won't run out of the box on XP.

A Google search didn't reveal anything helpful, but a search here tells me I
am not the only one with this problem.  Any solutions?

Thanks,

Marc

I got it to run but the controls would not work in dual axis mode ...

OK, switching to combined axis pedals solved the control problems.  But in
98/ME mode, the sound is out of synch with what's happening on the screen
and is appalling quality.  I have fiddled with some of the settings, but
can't replicate the "normal" sounds.  What audio settings are you using?
Did you have this problem also?

Thanks,

Marc
