Re: Dungeon Keeper 1 on Vista???? Possible???

Believe it or not Mark but I have already tried that... I seriously doubt
there is an advice that people here on Vista can give me that they havent
given me already after I posted my first help post here... I tried that one
and so did the admins at Vista Ready Game forum and we all came up with the
same result... NADA... game wont start...

Thanks anyway but I think its time for Dungeon Keeper to die....
