More info?)
To throw in my tuppence'-worth:
1) So, he made made a typo...BFHD. When you saw "Win200" did *you* think he
had XP?? .
2) To expand on this: you'll need W2k patched to SP2 or above. But I believe
there is more to do - you also need to *enable* compatibility mode. To do
this, click on Start then Run and in the box type:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
and press Enter.
Then check out the properties tab of a shortcut to the game.
You might want to check out the more specialised newsgroup
"microsoft.public.win2000.games" for more info on this - it's cropping up
all the time.
