I have been trying to play an old sierra game (missionforce:cyberstorm) on win 2000. It istalled just fine but when I try to run it, it shows an error for creating a surface.. It gives desription of a problem with the file named graph/gfx/g_cds.c (#114). Is there anything that I can do. I really like this game and I wold hate to think that I waisted my time and effort (not to mention money) on getting a game that doesn't work. I also don't want to have to load win 95 just to be able to play it. That would ,for lack of a better term, suck. Please help.

if it is a dos game, it ain't gonna happen. does the manufacturer say itis win2K comatible?

Don't know for sure , but I think W2000 has a utility on the CD and if you have SP2 to allow you to play a game in another OS 'mode'. I think it is apcompat.exe. I will do some looking and post back

Found this at www.winoscentral under their W2000 section. Enable Application Compatibility-Mode Technology in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 April 9, 2002 - 11:05 am Source: Microsoft FAQ Compatibility mode provides an environment for running programs that more closely reflects the behavior of either Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. These modes resolve several of the most common issues that prohibit older programs from working correctly with Windows 2000. Programs that experience issues after migration may benefit from being started in one of these compatibility environments. The Compatibility-mode technology is currently used by Windows 2000 to ensure built-in compatibility for many popular programs. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2), administrators can manually enable and use this technology to provide solutions for their own programs. Only administrators can enable this technology for users. MORE INFORMATION How to Enable Compatibility Mode Properties The Compatibility-mode technology is not exposed by default. To enable an interface so that you can use this technology for your programs after you apply SP2: 1. Log on as Administrator. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK, where %SystemRoot% is the drive and folder in which Windows 2000 is installed: regsvr32 %systemroot%appPatch(place backslash here)slayerui.dll How to Use Compatibility Mode Properties Administrators can use a program shortcut to set the compatibility mode for a target program. This requires that the Compatibility-mode properties be correctly installed and registered on the computer by using the previous steps. To enable Compatibility mode by using a program shortcut: 1. Log on as Administrator. 2. Right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Compatibility tab. This tab appears only if the Compatibility-mode interface has been properly enabled on the computer. 4. Click to select the Run in Compatibility Mode check box to enable Compatibility-mode support for the program. 5. Click either Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode in the drop-down box. 6. Click OK to save the changes. 7. Double-click the shortcut to run the program. NOTE: Be careful if you use Compatibility mode to bypass version warnings in Setup or installation programs. Some programs are designed for a specific operating system and intentionally prohibit use on future versions. These are most often system-level programs that run at a very low level and have the potential to cause serious problems if installed. How to Disable Compatibility Mode Because you enable Compatibility mode independent of the Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 installation process, uninstalling Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 does not remove Compatibility mode. To uninstall Compatibility mode: 1. Log on as Administrator. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK, where %SystemRoot% is the drive and folder in which Windows 2000 is installed: regsvr32 /u %systemroot%apppatch(place backslash here)slayerui.dll
