Received the follow messages:
1) Installed compatibility patch, Riven still doesn't work.
2) It works perfectly under Windows 2000
3) I've got all the current patches installed, and riven doesn't start or even give an error.
3) The compatibility update will only work with the CD version. A new workaround in the compatibility update needs to be added for the DVD exe and dll files. It seems though that only certain systems require the compatibility update to work though.
4) It works great until I install Quicktime 4.0 player. Then it won't start. I haven't found anything to fix this except re-installing Win2k and not leaving Quicktime 3.
