Thanks for that info... I installed SP2 yesterday night but even then
I still didn't get this compatibility option... however, I did get
F1RC running by using ACOMPAT.EXE as you suggested.
Any idea why I don't get the compatibility option though... I right
clicked on the shortcut and on the actual exe file but all I get is a
general and shortcut tab for the shortcut and a general and version
tab for the exe.
At least F1RC is now running though...
Cheers
