If you have a large amount of RAM, you might also try running the program under VDMSound

I mentioned something similar in regard to the Campaign series, and in fairness David Heath does have a point - you can't expect Matrix to devote resources to projects that yield zero income.

Answer - Buy the latest version! In this case, that would be to wait until the release of Matrix TOAW!

I also have the same problem. Currently I will be keeping my eye open for some TOAW hacks and cd cracks. I was told a rumour that a CD crack MAY get it to work on XP. This would prevent the "This is not an NT compatible CD" error.

I can install TOAW on XP, but that's as far as it can get. All my older pentiums don't work anymore so using an older box isnt an option for me.

Status: offline 		I'm using an 'old' no-cd vbs file in xp pro, works fine for me......

Could email it to you, if you so desire.

Mention whether it should be .zip or .rar, eh?

(MANTIS: is this sort of thing ok here? I've got that old 'gun-sight-pointing-at-my-head' feeling.......)

ALSO; you might mention whether your running pro or home ver of XP.......


"Elite version"...? Who sold that? I would of thought that I'd heard of it, here to for..........

Status: offline 		Truth be told, I'm not 100% certain. I know at SZO we support the No CD file for TOAW CoW, which is the most recent TOAW. (There was some kind of thing - maybe that the game had been dropped? - that made it safe for us to do so, legally speaking, iirc). Knowing that, I would *guess* that you're alright, but I would suggest that you don't post the file here. If anyone needs to, I'm sure they can PM you.
