The only way I can Think of right now is to install Win ME back and make a dual boot whit XP.
It's the only way to play my favorite game.

I found nothing to solve the problem.

Hi Ya'll,

I know this sounds rather dumd but have you ever tried XP without serious tweaking??? First month that I used it I installed everything and tested it on the speeds, all was OK. After I started tweaking alot of games wouldn't load anymore or they became slow as hell. Especially with the services things can go wrong, I'm only using Tweak UI and a few register hacks.

BTW: I'm playing SC3K World Edition and never had any problems

sc3000 & XP

I am running p2 450 w/ 256mb and I am having problems as well running sc3000. I am getting the launcher screen and when I click on install, the install shield goes to 99% and craps out. If anyone has an idea why, please help. If I have to go back to ME that would really suck.
