Good luck on getting the audio to work, most people have tried but then given up. I think the problem must be the way the program tries to access the CD hardware directly to play the disc may just not be allowed in XP. The registry changes to get the network version to operate do not work for reasons of synchronisation. When one computer lands it's pods in a sector ont he other computer it lands elsewhere. The two machines are then out of synch and one of the games will crash. Sorry to be negative but although I will try this again when I get the chance (no network card in one of my machines at the moment) I do not hold out much hope. I am working on some possible hacks for the game including more scenarios for those of you who are interested. Dean

Hello, I've just joined and I'm interested in seeing the problems people have had in getting the game to work on XP and 2000. To get the game to work on 2000 you need to obtain the patch, install it correctly, then click on the compatibility tab tick the box and select Windows 98/ME mode. I've been writing some software to resolve a lot of the usual problems that all players of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds PC Game experience. I have experienced them too and I got so fed up I wrote a comprehensive tool to fix them. It will supply the patch you need. I've finally finished the tool, I have had it play tested by a few die-hards and it works. It's called the WOTW companion. I've put a copy of it on ebay, item number 8155667585, here is the link if you are interested. http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?My...me=STRK:ME:LNLK A full description is on the item but by the time you read this the auction may have gone, don't worry, from time to time I'll submit another. I've also created a web page that will describe the software in some greater detail. Put this link in your browser please. http://www.aqqc35.dsl.pipex.com/WOTW/wotwmainscreen.htm The software does a lot! Have a look and contact me for details. I'm also interested in buying any copies of the game CDs that you may have lying about. I have a few on my Christmas list who are looking for a copy and I am tired of loaning out my single copy. Merry Christmas. Dean
