I can't make it to work under XP. Has anyone made it? It is strange since it is not an old game.

I don't recall having problems playing it under windows XP.
have you tried running it using compatibility mode?

EDIT: I remember now that I did have some problems and I went on the old Westwood Dune ftp you need to download the 'latest' patch and the fix, try it again then.

I downloaded three versions/patches from there. the 1.08 en, 1.09 en (hopefuly it stands for english and not espana or something) and a third installfix file. I will try them later, but thank you anyway for that link!
