I have Mech 3 and cannot get it to install on my new XP pro machine. It may be related to the sysinfo. exe file on the Mech CD - that file fials to execute and I get a blank failure icon before the install shuts down.

Please Help! Resident Evil 3 and Windows XP problems

Dass Booty
EDIT - Resident Evil 3 now works fine under Windows XP. I didn't have to make any changes at all. My guess would be that there was a SBLive/XP conflict somewhere. All hail nForce2 onboard Audio! If you are still having problems see.

trilobyte's 11h

The topic is not all that new but all the posts are rather old. I've got a patch for dx and the game runs ok but when I come to solve a puzzle I only get to see part of it. In the first one, I only see the shelf I have to put the books on but I see no books.

Win2k and some DOS games....

Maldoror
I didn't read the whole forum yet, so excuse me if the question has already been answered. . . I still play some old DOS games in a DOS window such as Prince of Persia or Gender War. These games work fine with Win98.
