Re: problem at startup
Interesting... I did some googling to see if there was a way to tell if a fan was going to die, and while I didn't find anything (yet!), I did find one thing that could be useful...
If you're computer-mechanically inclined, open up the computer and do two things:
I did find indications that the fan could get more use during heavy processing (just like you said!), so the heavier load makes sense. Still...

Re: problem at startup
For a game as old a W&W it is pretty intensive. Not sure how many people could have run it when it first came out. Could be one of the reasons it didn't sell fantastically well.

Re: problem at startup
I imagine people didn't have any problem running the game(bugs not counted) during the time it was release since computers at that time suits the game.
Once people start having new computers and winxp, problems start to happen. |

Re: problem at startup
I could never get the thing to run on my old PC with Windows 95, it is the only the new one with Windows XP that will run the game.

Re: problem at startup
Me thinks the game was build more for win98 than for win95.

Re: problem at startup
I ran the game on a Win98 machine and never had problems. I believe it was written for Win98 but was still supposed to handle Win95.
