101 Airborne demo problems ...

[apw921]

Hi,

I just downloaded the 101st demo but it locks up on my PC running windows XP and was wondering if anyone has been able to get it to work on this platform.

If anyone has any ideas on getting it to work please post a reply.

thx

I saw on a review that ... Important! We've had reports that the demo will only run in 24-bit color mode! <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Tried that already and all the various compatibility modes too. Guess I will just have to wait for the 82nd Demo ;-)

I reloaded the entire 101st game and it would freeze up on me. Tried changing compatibility & a few other things. Lock up occurred when I tried to use F5 thru F9 buttons. It would then seem like it corrupted the game as I could skip a few people, but then the first normal command (either right-clicking or function key) would freeze the command.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for trying, I guess this is my penance for not buying the game when it first came out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .
