Probably will. Just do an emergency repair installation of XP afterwords and it should clear that up...

Yep, I have it working under XP, but the images suck under XP.
If I remember over the weekend, I note down the settings, assuming I didn't uninstall it.
You have to play with the Memory settings and change it to run under 95 Mod, if I remember correctly.

That was my results also. All that work to get it to run, then I deleted it. It ruined all of my fond memories of the game.

Im still REALLY hoping for a decent sequel. So far all of the morrowind stuff has removed my favorite parts of Daggerfall

Plus the annoying fact that it's really hard to play morrowind without you're guild asking you to murder or steal. At least in Daggerfall if you didn't like a quest you get get another one. There might have been some reputation loss, but I always re-loaded anyway.

I'd say go with my second-hand drive idea.
