anyone been able to get Carnivores Ice Age working in Win2K? i keep getting a heap allocation error. here is a copy of the log file the game generates:

nevermind. fixed it with patch. you can find it here. works pretty well but has some minor glitches when switching graphical modes in direct3d. all this trouble to get it working just to discover that it's pretty dull game. got it as a gift. to bad i can't return it and apply the difference towards black&white or tribes2.
