Oh well, I'll just have to scrape together enough parts to make a dedicated 98SE machine. Thanks anyway for the help everyone.

Re: SEIV Gold on XP?
I have XP Pro and a Geforce FX 5200 and I have no problems, try running it in windows 98 compatibility mode.

Re: SEIV Gold on XP?
Do you really need the ship animations though? I find it far better to play without them... they do not really look very good anyways.

Yeah, I've tried that. Seems to make it slightly faster, but hardly enough to make a difference. Must just be the install of XP Pro I have.

True, and it does cut down greatly on the time it takes to move a ship (having to wait for the animation to end) so I guess its a mixed blessing in a way.

Turning off the sound makes the APBs shoot faster to. |
