Should ask here http://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=65

There is a command line switch which will allow you to install, but I don't
know about playing them though.

I seem to remember having trouble installing one of them.

T1 ?

Was it T2 ?

I dont think I had SP4 installed, though it is installed now.

I didn't have trouble with either T1 or T2, but have always installed
under SP4. Couldn't get certain fan missions to run, however.

Never got System Shock 2 to work though, no matter what I did.

Yes and it is a great game (really quite a bit better) than it's sequel.
It is a DOS game however and is rather pixelated by today's standards.

So I most likely will not be able to run it in Windows 2000 Pro ?

I have a dual boot situation. Win98 Se is installed but it has a Live
Value card and I have the dos sound drivers support disabled.
It keeps wanting to select the wrong IRQ setting causing a conflict in
windows 98 se.

Not sure. If you install DOSBox and/or VDMSound it might work but I
haven't tried it.

Yeah, when I had a SBLive I jumped through some hoops to get DOS sound
working in DOS. It's almost enough to make one build an old AT computer
and keep it around for the old games.

Yeah I had a old DOS computer. A P233MMX system.

I had to get rid of it in order to obtain a new system.

I had three spare systems and they all had to go...

I've been seeing some DELL OEM Windows 2000 pro complete
O/S for sale but to register you had to have a DELL product
that Microsoft thought was ok. I think it was around 45 bucks in U.S. money.

You should be able to, if you use VDMSound:
http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound/

Or run the whole thing in the amazing DOSBox emulator:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

Hope this helps.
