After you have installed the program, click on Start and then click on All Programs
Point to the program that was installed (DO NOT click on it yet)
RIGHT click on the program icon and select Properties
A window pops up with tabs at the top, click on the tab titled Compatibility
Under Compatibility Mode, check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Make sure the drop down box below it says Windows 95
Under Display Settings, check the boxes that say "Run in 256 colors" and "Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution"
Click on Apply
Click on OK
This seems to work for Chaos gate. Hurray!
I've tried this on XP Home and it doesn't work for me (I have got the patches). On the first target of opportunity map (Industrial) the game crashes half way through the enemy turn, always at the same point (it's not cultists firing doing it, they haven't crashed the game through the entirity of the first two missions). I've used the compatability mode and that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm running WinDoctor to see if that works (I had a similar problem with a game calld Heavy Gear 2 a while back that it would crash at the end of the fourth mission unless I ran WinDoctor before playing) but if it doesn't does anyone have any ideas?
BTW: It used to do something similar on my 98SP machine, when I clicked the End Turn button on the second mission it would exit the game (this was without the patches).
[EDIT] WinDoctor didn't help. [/EDIT]
[EDIT2] Disabling all the animation etc doesn't work either: the game refuses to save the settings. What's wrong?[/EDIT2]
