Darkstone with Windows 2000

backosteel
I recently got Darkstone because I heard it was a sweet game. I got it all installed and ran all of the updates, but it doesn't run right. It runs the first couple of introductory movies, and then closes and takes me back to my desktop.

This may be the inappropriate area to post this in. If so, please redirect me. I am having trouble installing Final Fantasy VII. I'm running Windows 2000 Professional Edition. When the auto-run menu comes up upon insertion of the install disc, the install option will not function.

Hi, I bought the Sims 2 this christmas and I installed on my pc. Installation was no problem and playing isn't either. The problems started when I wanted to save the family I created, the problem is that there are no pictures present after I created the family.
