    Ok, here´s a tought one; Battlezone II and W2K don´t work together, but I need to make them work together :p . The game won´t even install, since the setup program has somekind of "fatal error" in it (W2K issue). If you know a way to install this game, please tell. :)

    I managed to install it, but not play it without crashing after 5-15 minutes. I have a friend with the same problem. Seems the game simply doesn't work with w2k. Check that you have the latest servicepacks and possible motherboard drivers installed. And other drivers for display-/soundcard etc should come as obvious. I haven't tried the game for a year now or so. If it doesn't work even then, then I'm afraid there's not much to do about it.

    Well, I´m 65% sure that there is a way. I made a visit to the Bz forum and there was a topic of this subject. The problem is; it didn´t tell anything of this setup program. Perhaps I have found, again, some unique problem...

    C´mon...somebody...

    I got it to install and run like mad on my geforce 3 under w2k, but only in single player.

    The multiplayer protocol doesn't work, and neither does joystick support (at least not for a Sidewinder Pro).

    And Activision has no interest in patching such an old game, either. :(
