The bit about the weapons hitting invisible objects, or blowing up in your face, or your jump jets not recharging are not windows XP problems - they're to do with a speed problem with the game engine. See, the game wasn't geared for computers this fast (guess they didn't think people would still be playing 10 years later! ). If you slow down the game process enough, the bugs will stop occuring. What you need is a CPU killer program, such as CPU Grab, or Advanced Game Loader. With these, you can slow the game down and get it to work correctly. You might want to check out my FAQ at netmech.org, it has information on this, and other issues running the MW2 series on NT systems.

My advice... don't use dos box for Mechwarrior 2. The game will usually launch on its own if its gonna launch at all. lordlupin, Mechwarrior 2 (all of them) is very picky. The games were designed in an era where having two CD drives on the same computer was almost unheard of. So if you've got multiple CD drives, the fact that your main CD drive is F probably is part of your problem. So like dosfreak suggested, change the letter of one of your CD drives to D: and see if that helps qbodsyt, as was pointed out, your batch file was totally messed up. But if fixing it up didn't help, do the following: -Go into your mech2 directory -Right click on the exe file, and hit properties -Go into the program tab, and uncheck the box "close on exit" Now you'll see a PIF dos shortcut file appear. Use that to run the game. Attempt to do as you did before, and get it to crash. Then you'll be able to see the error message, if any.
