1.	Solve : Urban Assault game on XP possible??
Answer» Has anyone gotten Microsofts Urban Assult to work on windows XP? I installed it and when I try to play it the game will go for a couple minutes then crash and cause the computer to reboot, I,ve already tried the compatibility settings and it seems to make no diff what the setting is it still crashes and restarts the computer.I had it working once, but it didn't work right, the AI was all messed up and none of the UNITS would move from there starting points. i was no fun for that reason. if you WANT to paly that game your going to need windows 98.Do you get BSOD? Try looking on fan sites for solutions to this issue. Quote Do you get BSOD? Try looking on fan sites for solutions to this issue. No blue screen, just a spontanious reboot, Ill google for some patches. no luck with patches I think MAYBE turning off hardware acceleration might be worth a try.Set the computer to report on crash and got the lovely BAD_POOL_HEADER message. All compatibility modes have been tried, write COMBINING disabled, acceleration turned off, 256 colors, disable visual themes, disable advanced text, 640x480 res. it seems that this game and XP just DONT get along. I have a second HDD that I could put win 98 on for a dual boot, I'll have to do that I guesse.When i got that game to work i recall ahving to to abort all the Videos or it would crash, try hitting escape when its launchiing
