Transport Tycoon Deluxe?

RussellWild
Anyway to get this game to run in Win2K Pro SPK1? I have an Athlon 600, 128MB RAM etc. . . When I run it, Windows says it's trying to access the COM ports and kills it. Can I stop it from doing that? Ta, Russell.

SimCity 2000 - WinNT 4 (Sp6a)

MidWay
Heeerlp! SimCity2k runs FINE on WinNT4 but for one problem. When ever a different user goes to run the game other than the person who installed it. It says that it can't run because it's not registered properly and needs to be re-installed.

Win2k freeze

dassman
Used to run games fine in win2k, until recently, there would be freezes up to 10 seconds long and then the game would continue working ok. They seemed to be a few minutes apart. The computer has been tested with other operating systems and works perfectly.
