i think it does'nt matter if it's the collectors edition or the normal one
(that would be total unfair)

Have you tried to get info about this from ATARI ?

yes (twice) ... 10 Days ago,never received an answer

This is an english-only forum

sorry thought so because your link was the german Atari-site

Yes I can clearly see it says Win98! If I was you I would be demanding a refund if you cannot get the game to work on your Win98 system!

sorry but this is not possible in Germany (yeah ... it is CRAP),
one the gamebox is opened,exchange/money back is impossible
no matter if its your fault or not

@herc
they didn't answer???wtf???

Send more mails to them, if they still refuse to answer get regged in their official forums (if you aren't). If that does not help write what has happened on some big sites (surely you have some real geeky site in germany too) that often helps alot.

About the open-box-"law" it is the same here in sweden, the only chance to get a new one is if the CD was broken when the game was purchased. Sometimes not even that will be enough for them, as they claim that you have broken it yourself...

I know this is none of my business but you have 2 options..
either buy winxp home for $50 (almost the same as a videogame)
and then you can play the game. (and life will be better in general.. but that's not my business)
Or be angry about not getting a refund and losing $50 ..
..


Edit:
Of course there is ebay.. but.. you want to play the game right?

i allready have WinXP,but its hard to work in a new OS,
install all the other drivers,programs,games...
but i think sometime it has to be...thanks again ATARI

i hope the game is worth the trouble

I just wiped XP so I know what you mean .. I finally migrated from my trusty old 15GB HDD to a 160GB as a C: Drive .. (I had 5 other hard drives running in the box but the C: was a 15GB)

The drivers are not a problem at all .. between driverguide and manufacturer's websites.. you will get drivers for all the obscure hardware..
XP has MOST of the drivers built in or on windows update..

the problem is that you will lose "shutdown to dos" .. which is easily fixed by DOSBOX..

I recommend putting XP, if you have enough RAM .. performance will be better and life will be better in general.. (if you're annoyed by the new interface you can make it more classic)
