When I download game and click the Play SPMBT button the introductory screen pops up upside down.then when scenario screen comes up theres a delay before theres any response to what i select.Finally when i hit the start button to begin scenario,nothing happens except for a sound loop of battle sounds.The game worked fine on my Windows 98 OS but i have been having this problem since i upgraded to Windows XP OS.Any help would be appreciated as i really love this game.Thanks

1st: Do you have the latest DirectX version and WinXP service Pack 2? Are your hardware drivers up to date and correct? Have you installed any third party video or sound codecs?

2nd: Did you install WinXP ontop the old Win98 installation? If so that may be part of your problem. Although upgrade is possible from a 98 windows, it is strongly recomended to install XP on a clean formated hard drive.
