Ok I will avoid alt-tab. One thing I noticed, if I reinstall the game, I get to see the intro movie, but right after the window minimizes to the desktop. If I try running it again after the first time, the window minimizes right after I double-click on the shortcut. I guess it's cause the INTROOFF.DAT file wasn't created until after the first attempt. Either way, I was never prompted for a selection in resolution and graphics acceleration. I will email you a copy of my install.txt log file. Anyhow, the salient points are as follows:
General-Advanced
[Checked]

As for the Deep6 program, it is 2.19mb and the file was created on sat, august 26, 2000 at 6:27:20 AM. I bought this game off ebay. The cd case is by XPLOSIV. I have not installed the patch yet.
I will send you a copy of my install.txt log file via email. I'm unfamiliar with windows event viewer, could you hit me off with a few pointers on that? I really appreciate this. Even if we don't resolve the issue, I'm learning alot about utilizing win xp. [img]smile.gif[/img]
