Resident Evil 3 now works fine under Windows XP. ^See the first post^. This message should send everyone that subscribed to this thread an email. Me so happy.

I'll try your suggestion tonight. EDIT - Resident Evil 3 now works fine under Windows XP. I didn't have to make any changes at all. My guess would be that there was a SBLive/XP conflict somewhere. All hail nForce2 onboard Audio!

I decided not to make a 98/XP dual boot. I like my nice stable system the way it is. Looks like i will have to build another system. I'm thinking a Duron/Athlon 600 + Banshee [for older 3DFX games]. Now all i need is some fundage........

Yeah, looks like i will have to make a duel boot 98/XP. I'll do it when i get a new HDD. *Sigh*

Bugger. I think you may be right. I have not tried swiching my GeForce 2 GTS with my VooDoo Banshee yet (i bought it a few days ago). I noticed a few people also had a GF2/GF3 and Resident Evil 3 problems. I forgot the system info: Windows XP Home A7V133-C [MoBo] Athlon 1200 256MB ram [Kingmax PC 150] Creative GeForce 2 GTS 32MB AGP SBLive DE 5.1

Thanks for letting me know i am not the only one. There must be a way to get this game going. I love WinXP to much to leave it now.

If you are still having problems see this. Everything works fine until i see the text: Farewell to my life. Farewell to my home. After that the game freezes and i have to kill it using End Task. I have tried running it under every compatibility mode, disabled visual themes, run in a window and so on. I have searched google and a few other people have had the same problem. Eidos will not be patching the game, claiming: Quote: Ultimately, it is the responsibility of Microsoft and/or specific hardware manufacturer to provide for backward compatibility with Windows XP; this is to insure that the device drivers are compatible. At this time we do not have plans to change our older titles to make them Windows XP compatible for the reasons above. We realize this may be a problem for some users. I checked NT Compatible and they say it should work fine under XP. Any ideas where i am going wrong? I really want to play this game.
