Thief on XP - Any thoughts if Thief will run on XP. I have it on my w98 SE, but that sytem is acting funky

Thief 3 DS ...big map anyplace ? - I am playing and enjoying THIEF 3: Dark Shadows a bit ..is there a DETAILED map of the game world any where ? around the net sites I know of ...and can't find any. Mouse @@@@

Thief and Oblivion - I've been play Oblivion on and off for about a month. I've seen some mod to make it more like Thief. Can anyone recommend some from personal ones that don't mean starting again)? It's a great game ...except that the foes seem to..

Thief 3 fan missions - Do these exist? I've been out of the Thief newsgroup for years and did not know if there were fan missions, etc for Thief 3

Best Fan Mission Thief 2 - These newer ones kinda are lame. Adding things is fine but have nothing to do with Thief. Just played one that was Lara Croft Tomb Raider based. The best were from years ago. Give me Shore Leave, Up Shit Creek anyday over these new ones.

I maybe you thief players might be able to help me get T2 running. I
recently picked up a copy, but can't get it to start on XP SP2. It installs
OK and when I also tried to install the indeo driver it says I already have
a newer version. I tried running it in Windows98/ME compatibility mode, but
that didn't help. Any suggestions appreciated.

T1, TG, T2 all run fine for me on XP.
No problems with my video card.
If your computer is a duel processor, some older programs don't like it.
Start Thief2, but don't go beyond the menu screen.
ALT TAB out of it to desk top.
ALT CTRL DEL to get to task manager
got to "Processes". Find "Thief2.exe"
Right click mouse. Click on "Set Affinity"
Unclick one of the CPUs
Close task manager.
ALT TAB back to Thief2.


I suggest you go to this web site, become a member (free)
and go to the tech forum. Lots of good info about Thief there.

Yup. Actually, there's some good stuff here, specifically:
