Star Wars: Jedi Knight/MOTS and Xwing VS Tie

Sinster
They both installed normally for me on one machine. The other machine I went into the install folder and installed from there. I figure it was because of the Anti Virus program, is the reason I had to run it from install.

Star Trek DS9 Dominion Wars

Ekstreme
I'm having a **** of a time playing this game. The mouse is extremely slow on some of the config screens. I could live with this, but it also does it in-game, making it unplayable. I have a MS IntelliMouse Explorer.

NHL 2002 Issues...

peejay
Bought NHL 2002 today and brought it home wanting to start playing as soon as possible, and there are problems (at least for me) with this version very much like there were with NHL 2001. . . The issue is that it installs okay, but moments after the screen goes black for it to load it dumps me back to the desktop.
