I can't get soul reaver (I'm talking about the first one) to work on WinXP. The game crashes the second I double click on kain2.exe. I don't even get an error message, windows just aks me if I want to report the error. i have tried running it in compatibility mode for all sorts of windows, but no luck. The 1.2 patch didn't work either. I really love this game and I'm willing to install win98 in another partition if it won't work otherwise, but if anyone can save me the trouble, I'd be grateful.

Battlefield 2

Multipe loads of svchost.exe?

Not sure what to tell you. It works fine here.

IIRC, The game uses SafeDisk copy protection.
Try a NOCD crack from www.gamecopyworld.com

Didn't MS just release a SafeDisc patch for Windows XP? Something along the lines of limited-access user accounts?
