The game ST:BOTF is listed as not compatible with WinXP on the main site. This is not fully correct: it works on my system, when setting it to use Win2000 compatibility mode. Also, some modders have created a patch which does make BOTF work on XP: http://www.members.aon.at/zelli/ is the site, direct download for the patch is ftp://zelli.homedns.org:5367/botf/xpe-102.exe , or http://www.dtdn.com/botf/xpe-102.exe Prerequirements are official patch 1.02 has to be installed first. The patch works on all three of my systems (Intell and AMD boards), and others have also reported success. Check the site (subsection downloads - others) for the German patch, and several mods (I recommend the Direct3D mod -- makes BOTF's batlles run a lot smoother). It is also one of the few remaining sites to hold the official 1.02 Patch.

Posted the report. It's a shame there is no "comments" thing linked to the submissions, so you can offer solutions, or correct them. Browsing through the list, I find a lot more games I can easily get to work -- for example, just about all DOS games (only exceptions are Wing Commander III and IV) work on XP or 2K with full sound, as long as you get VDMSound (ntvdm.cjb.net/). This applies to all the Lucasarts and Sierra games I have
