NHL2002 video issues

rh71

Using a Voodoo3 3000 AGP (on WIN2k) and NHL2002 loads up fine, menu graphics are all crisp and clear. . . even the game-loading screen (where the progress bar is at the bottom) shows up fine. But as soon as it goes into the intro where the players jump out on the ice and pregame skate, the video is all rainbow pixel'd.

Pool of Radiance 2

Reidyn

I haven't had any luck getting this to install on Windows XP Pro, RC-2. Regardless of options, it says Not enough disk space. I have two ideas: 1) It doesn't like something about XP's file system, and will need a work-around or a patch.
