The game installed just fine, no issues on that front. First problem to poke it's head out was a message saying that directX 7.something or another wasn't compatible with my version of windows. I got around this by installing a newer version of directX (8.0a). After it was installed I loaded the game, it asked me if I wanted to register, and after that the program just seemed to disapear from the screen. No error message. This is a similar issue to when I was using an old 333mHz machine without a vid card. Once I got a vid card it ran perfectly, even though the game is technically supposed to run without a vid card installed. I therefore assume it's a vid card issue, but am not completely sure.
