Old PC game, how to make it work :(

Dark_Angel · 4 Dec 2006 at 18:20

I am talking old here like maybe 1997 or so, its Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen. I dug out an old CD, and trying to play it buts its not having any of it.

I cant even do a full install, because despite there being 30 or more gigs on my C: it wont let me do the full install, and only allow me to do a partial install (it tells me not enough space on drive :/)

Suggestions?

I am running Windows XP SP2, 1GB ram, Venice @2.7GHZ and a X800XT.

*EDIT*

Not sure if this is the best place for this, I guess its more of a windows problem with not liking XP than the game itself, so its best here or better in gaming? mods? :confused:

Well can you do a partial install and run from CD?

You tried running it in compatability mode with Windows 98, or 2000.

Well, I basically have it (half) working. I done a comptability install on the install file, which allowed me to install the entire thing (yay there then) and I found a "hacked" file which makes the game run on windows XP. (yay there again).

It seems my system is to fast though, I was reading on a webpage the game freezes at load screens and I need to keep minimizing to desktop to allow me to progress

any ideas peoples?
