Welcome to the boards, fiffa46
May you soon be saving the Gael Serran...
You've got the basic tips there. A couple of additional things...
1. You may need to get the Ace Mega Codec pack. There's a link to it in Tech Tips, I think... Willow found that the missing codec was in there. It's a free download, unlike the current Indeo codecs.
2. You may get clobbered if there are other things running in the background. Some apps like Kazaa and such have caused problems, and allowed the game to run after stopping them. You don't have to give them up, but you do need to stop them when you're going to play W&W
3. Using Virtualdub to decompress the town files is critical. Check the recently updated instructions in Best Tips and let us know how readable they were.
4. You may try Win98 compatibility mode instead of Win95. It made a difference for me...
5. Defragging your hard drive is also a good idea. I know you've got 38GB free, but every bit can make a difference.
I think the rest of the tips and tricks have already been covered. Give these a shot, and let us know how it goes [img]smile.gif[/img]
Bottom line: it does work.
