I running a K5 p75 133m, over 100meg free on hard dirive, 32m edo, CL vidio with 3m, 4x cd. I installed the game and it ran fine with a rare crash,but when I started a new game, I'd get a black screen with two white rectangles lower center clicking the left reectangle started the game, I could live with this. After the patch was installed the first screen would tell me that my proccesor was not supported but try any way. I did and it kicks me back to the Windows desktop. It worked before why not now?

What's DXDiag.exe think? Also, try renaming the sound.dll to sound.dl), since that library has changed the most between 1.0 and 2.0. Also, make sure Windows is managing your swap file.

Thanks for both your replays. I installed DX6.1 maybe big mistake, because I can't get earlier versions of DX to update drivers or to even reinstall. I'm not going any further with this until I do some major home computor fix ups, changing the C drive to a larger faster hard drive, reformating,reinstalling,changing a noisy power supply and who knows what else. Just have to build up the energy. Will the K5 & K6 be supported in future patches? I'll be back.
