Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate on XP - help?

Olga
I just recently got the Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate game from a friend after waiting for 2 years, and getting a new computer in the meantime, which runs on Windows XP professional. After installing the game and trying to play it, the screen went black for a few seconds and returned to the original desktop screen.

OK so i recently finished playing dk1 which was enough of a chore to get working on vista. So I downloaded dk2, got through the install just fine, and managed to play the game for a bit. The game crashed on me after i tried to restart a level, a number of fixes for which i've found and will try if the problem persists.

Resident evil 1 issues on Vista

Venter127
I recently downloaded resident evil 1 for my computer, and after some tweaking, got it to run. The problem is, however, that while the first play-through went fine, every time after it, there is absolutely no sound.

Nocturne won't run in XP

mekhthecat
I just got this game, even though it was released in 99 I think. It installs fine and then when I double click the icon to play, it just acts like its going to start, then it flashes a black screen real quick and goes back to the desktop as if nothing has happened.

Call of Duty World at War

heutenitaz
Call of Duty is a great game series with many of the games being based on World War 2. Which is a war that has some games out there covering them, but few of them are as good as Call of Duty World at War.
