Yeah, I kinda figged it was something like that.
I wonder if there's any way to trick the game into seeing the xp dll's that it's looking for, without actually having xp running.
I think the time is quickly approaching when the true w98 gaming enthusiast community is going to have to find a way to mod *or something* W98 so it can run stuff that's ment for xp only. It's gotta be possible - so the real question I guess then becomes, is it worth the hassle to do it in the 1st place.
The obvious path of least resistance is to just be a sheep and switch to xp like the rest of the numbskulls with no backbone that just follow the herd and deal with the devildealing-soul stealing horror that is microshi-ah-soft, but who's interested in taking the easy way out? The day M$ tells me I CAN'T play game X unless I do what they tell me and put the OS THEY say on my rig, that's the day I toss the rig and go to a playstation!
**** additional kinda off topic comment *****
And b4 you go and say m$ couldn't care less about forcing ppl to switch by making sure games are xp only, and that it's the game developer that makes that call - do a little digging into how M$ gives "incentives" to game developers and to parent companies of developers to make games that are xp (and soon W64 bit) only. And I'm not talking small incentives either - I'm talking about the kind of incentive that can make or break the decision that a game even gets developed in the 1st place. As with anything else, it always boils down to money and m$ is willing to throw LOTS and LOTS of it at game development BY OTHER COMPANIES - that's gotta tell ya something.
What it tells me is that anytime anyone or anything is willing to put that kind of money into something and NOT want as much publicity as humanly possible -due to their- "amazingly overwhelming humanatarianism and generosity" then there's something wrong with WHY they're doing it, and they'd rather not have to answer questions about it.
