I have a 4300S Dell with Windows XP. Every time I tried to play Wizards and Warriors my game would lock up and shut down. I queried Microsoft as to how to get the game to run and what they told me was to go start and click on run. Then they said tell it to run msconfig. When the window comes up click on selective startup and click only load system services, and load startup items. Then original boot.ini
Then they said to open the services window and disable all but the following: app mgmt windows audio Fast user RIP listener Plug and Play Remote Proced call... Remote Proced call... (yes, there are two of them) Then open the startup window and disable all but the following: tgcmd tgfix real play Q Agent alogserv msmsgr WkDetect ReLaunch After this you click on apply and then OK. It will then ask you if you want to restart your computer. Do so. Then get ready to begin the game. Not much else works when the computer is set this way and you end up having to go back to start, run: msconfig and click on normal startup to reset the normal settings. I know it's a rather involved proceedure but at least I can play the game! |

Yes this does seem a bit tedious, lol! Especially since I think most players get through the game with a bare minimum of failures just running the game in compatibility mode... But still, post it in the best tip thread so this excellent tip doesn´t get forgotten!

Welcome to the board, Storm Shadow!!!
Yes, a very excellent tip - do post it to the BEST TIPS thread! There are other work arounds for WINXP but if this is working, then there is no need to go looking for and trying any of them. Hope you are enjoying the game! Wyv |
