Well I have been able to get the game running with a Radeon 9800 Pro and Directx9. But then there is the radeon-fix that helps me. I'll give it a go with my XT tonight. [img]smile.gif[/img] Btw, have you tried busting back to Directx 7 or 8.1? You could of course try that but my guess is it's not directx that's the problem. It's probably your drivers and to change that you would have to o back to at least 40.xx. And no, as I said, there are no switches for W&W. The ini files for W&W are .dat files, for example SSPATH.dat. You'll need to browse through them and look around .

Btw, what service pack is currently installed?

Oh and you won't have to worry about D3D just yet. The opening screen is 2D.
