Yeah, but it won't solve the sound problem.

You have to remember, the compatibility mode doesn't really emulate Windows
9x CODE, it only emulates certain system variables and procedures so the
Installers will run and the game will function.  If there is a direct
incompatibility with the way something is executed in 2K/XP, the
incompatibility will still be there.

For example, trying to run a game that access the video hardware directly.
It won't run in 2K/XP, and it STILL won't run in compatibility mode.

At least this is how it's been explained to me...

Thanks for the idea, though!

sheesh... that's kinda frusterating. Viper Racing was one of my favorite
sims. Maybe I'll have to go to dual boot sometime.
thanks for the help
