Attempt to load the game in 640x480 mode and see if it helps. Some games will not function under 800x600. If that fails I would look for what it is that is causing the resource conflict. ______________________________________________________ Tim Key Comp-Tech 615-666-6022 www.comptechexpress.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "George N.
