hej,
i had thesame problem. whenever i started the game in compatibily mode 95 or 98, i could save the game, but therefor it allways crashed. when i did not turn on compatibily mode, i could play, but i could not save.
however, i think i found a (surprisingly simple) solution for this problem:
i started the game in compatibily mode win 95 and also set the following settings in thesame window, where you activate compatibily mode:
- start with 256 colors
- resolution 640x480
- deaktivate visual designes
- deaktivate desktop?????? (in german it is called "Desktopgestaltung")

i also checked: "start program as administrator"

maybe not all of those options are necessary, but now i could play for the first time the whole first oblinox mission without any crashes and furthermore i was able to save the game afterwards
so i hope, i fixed the problem like this now

The Fifth Horseman No, there isn't. You need either a disc or a binary image of one.

Not yet, some are working on it, but it's far from usable now.

You always could run linux in VPC and run WINE in that, how it will run will depend how beefy your compy is .......

Skywolf I've been trying to get a virtual machine to work on my computer for years, but I can't get past the 'install windows' bit becuse I can never find my discs. Can anyone help? Isn't there just some sort of virtual machine that doesn't need a copy of windows?

Absolutely, runs fine in VPC2007/W98SE


... Or in Win7 be sure to put the game in your own user folders, or somewhere where you have full access rights ( D: partition, USB drive , whatever....)
