On the other hand my sisters computer which i built for her has a msi mother board socket A with a sempron 2.0Ghz But is running at 1.56 she has a Nvidia 5200 fx graphics card she has windows xp service pack 2 all patches for armada 1.2 and yet she has no vishal glitches wat so ever so i though this my be my hardware "Graphics card" so i swaped it for my sister but alas nothing still the same problem. So i have come to the conclusion that the high spec hardware u have the less like the game will run proply i have also read other posts on other site that also suggest the same thing im sry this is no help to u but i thought it would stop u from doing wat i have done and stayed up for 24 hours trying to figure it all out What version of drivers was your sister running?

Armada 2 works fine but i played it and hate it... not enough stratagy required.. If anyone has any advice, or can explain how to install a virtual OS on my HDD so i can install a virtual win98 to play it on then please help me. First of all, I have tried using Virtual PC with win98 on my XP machine, and it solved none of the problems because the emulated video card is an S3 Trio32/64, and my actual card is an NVIDIA FX5200 (great card for most games), and gave the same glitches as running on XP. My laptop, on the other hand (Celeron 766 with Cyberblade 3D video onboard) runs the game perfectly with version 1.2 (my cd came as version 1.2--no patch needed) If you can dual-boot (must own both windows 98 and XP) you may have better luck running the game with 98 depending on your video card.
