RCT2 won't run on XP Pro either. The patch describes the exact problem
that I see, but unfortunately it does not fix the problem.
So far I've only found two programs that won't run under XP pro in
compatibility mode, and RCT2 is one of them. The other is one of the
Carmen San Diego programs. Magic School Bus Inside the Earth has some
issues, but it does run.
I may do a dual boot machine with Windows '98 as one of the OS's, as I
have some peripherals that won't work on XP as well. >> Stay informed about: Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 - won't run on XP Pro |

Sorry but that's true, I have XP Pro + SP1 with RCT2 and the both addons
installed which run fine on my system. To be honest though, I have not tried
running RCT2 under SP2, my main gaming system runs XP Pro + SP1 and this
system runs XP Pro + SP2....

Uh, I guess you meant to say "sorry but that's not true?"
Anyway, I found the XP patch to RC2 which described the "spinning disk"
but it had no effect on fixing the problem. The program worked fine in
Windows '98.

I'm running SP2. I have no machine without SP2 to try it on, though I
could do this somehow. >> Stay informed about: Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 - won't run on XP Pro |

Yeah, that's what I ment, I kinda knew what I was talkin' about... 
I have never patched RCT2 and play nearly everyday, I installed RCT2 then
ran it, installed the first addon and ran it, finially installed the second
addon then ran it, works fine.

Out of curiosity, i'll install RCT2 on this system later tonight and see
what happens, from memory I have had it installed on this system before but
I can't remember if I had SP2 installed at that time, though I think I did
actually.

I tried it on another machine with SP2 (a Compaq notebook) and it also
did not work, but I didn't try the patches. >> Stay informed about: Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 - won't run on XP Pro |
