Virtual Pool 2 in Win2k

sk79
Hi guys, I'm trying to find a way of playing the awesome Virtual Pool 2 in Windows 2000. I know there's a patch called setupwin95 somewhere on the net. Can't find an active link, though. Is there a site where I can definitely download it? Or is there another method? Appreciate the help.

Glide?

SnapperOne
Someone just gave me a copy of Return Fire 2; said it was a pretty good shooter. When I attempted to load the game, it says it's unable to find some Glide file, then continues the install. When I attempt to run the game, same message, but give a choice to use Glide or software drivers.

Win 95/98 Broderbund Games Don't Work??

mstone_26
Any thoughts on getting older Broderbund games (Arthur, Cat in the Hat etc. . ) to work under 2000? My kids are going crazy. Broderbund doesn't support the games anymore. I have tried compatibility mode but the game instantly comes up and says no sound card detected.

3D Pinball

Spuds
Anyone ever heard of this: while playing the 3D Pinball game that comes with W2K, the flippers will freeze for a few seconds as I play, needless to say this causes problems in keeping the ball from falling through the middle.

System Shock 1 - SVGA version

Arbury
Has anyone been able to get the SVGA version of System Shock 1 to run. I can run the VGA version fine (although I cannot seem to get sound effects with VDMSound), but the SVGA version always complains about getting access to one of the Serial ports.
