Thanx for the ideas, got it fixed though. I had to take out the MSI GeForce2 mx-400 and use a Diamond Viper v770 to get XP installed. Then I put the other video card back in and all seems to be going good.

No matter what I try I can't get RC1 installed. Right after the first file copy process, just as it's about to go into the GUI section of the setup, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor (I waited 25 minutes). I tried installing it off the cd as well as the hard drive, I tried upgrading from Win2k and a clean install. I took out any peripherals that I don't need so here is what is left in there: Duron 750 Epox 8KTA3 motherboard (KT133A) 512 MB pc133 RAM MSI GeForce2 mx-400 3Com 3C905B-TX PCI NIC TDK veloCD CDRW 13 GB WD 20 GB WD Any ideas on what I can do to get this installed? If ya need any more info just let me know. Thanks in advance. Bart

Has anybody been able to get this game to run successfully? I would really appreciate any input that gets me any further than I am now. Whenever I go to start the game I get this error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate this application." I am running Windows 2000 with SP1 on an Asus K7V, 700 Athlon, 128 MB RAM, DirectX 8, and a Viper v770 with 6.31 drivers.
