okay, its on your compatibility list..... whats the secret
how do i install it?
it just chucks me out saying it doesnt suppot NT
 
tried installing it on a friends ME machine and copying it across to get round the installer message, but the .exe does it too.
 
i used to have it running under an install of 2k upgraded from 98, but never from an original 2k install.
 
my PC is W2k SP3 with DirectX 9.0a installed
XP1800
512mb
Leadtek Ti4600
SB Audigy
 
Thanks for any help, the Warzone forums seem to be ignoring me, while Eidos want to pretend they've never heard of their game.

Have you tried the compatibility tab or using the ACT?

yeh i keep hearing about the compatibility tab, but where exactly is it?
i know ive seen it by accident before, sounds like a shortcut property
but ive got shortcuts to all my games, and none of them have it
 
as for ACT, its succeeded in letting setup run properly but not the game exe.... problem is i dont understand it entirely
i can get a "warzone.exe has generated errors and will be closed" message if i mess about with enough flags, but its not really progress :-e:P
Still, thanks

Sweet. Glad you fixed it.
 
If the compatibility tab doesn't show up on a shortcut then you can enable it by pasting this into your RUN:
 
regsvr32 c:\windows\apppatch\slayerui.dll
