Midtown Madness Keyboard Problem

Eternal_Geko
When Midtown Madness (1, not 2) was installed on my new computer running windows XP, I ran into a serious problem. Every part of the game ran fine, except for keyboard control. It takes the game a very long time to react to keyboard controls, and it behaved very erraticly.

Sanchez
I tried to play Privateer2 but it requires VESA. I tried loading my old vvesa. com that I used before but it did not work. Is there some Win2k vesa driver or emulator for it that would get the game to work?.

I keep hearing this game won't work under XP (I've even tried it in Win95 emulation mode) but I just have to believe someone out there has figured out a way to make it work. Can anyone help? I know you'd make a few thousand people very happy if you could find a way.
