Tried it... other than making my computer errily silent (wonder why) it left the same problem... tried disabling the voodoo2... it would then open but not run anything but the starter and leave it in the back ground.. no screens... then my comp crashed and it tokk me the best part of an hour to save it from crashing completely... it is a bit edgy recently.... might see if i can upgrade GL drivers... or though i doubt the relevance of this 'caus i believe the game uses direct x... if the demo even uses the accelerator at all.... damn... anyway thanks for that...
