X-Wing Alliance on WinXP with a nVidia 5600

Cylindric
I've done a little searching, but the solutions I've come across haven't worked for me. Does anyone have any tips on getting X-Wing Alliance working on WindowsXP Professional? I have a nVidia GeForce 5600 card with the latest drivers, and all the XP patches applied.

Compatability problem with Janes F/A-18 Sim

moquelvog
I really like this sim, but when I upgraded to XP it had the common compatability problem often discussed. After I changed the properties for compatability, the game almost worked. The only problem I had was that the pilot is now always looking up; almost like the keyboard is stuck, but I know that is not the problem.

Counter strike and Registry

Ace
Hey, In the past I've had many problems with counter-strike on my computer. Most of them were caused by the new version Steam and CS 1. 6. Now I want to play version CS 1. 5 since there are still servers up and running.

Yamaha CRW2200 and XP

salymus
I loaded WindowsXP on my machine and it will not detect my Yamaha CRW. If I only attached my CD-ROM XP will see it and it will work. As soon as I add on my Yamaha CRW, XP does't see any CD drives. I have tried using ONLY the Yamaha, but that doesn't work either.
