I once enjoyed a military flight sim titled EF2000 Ver2.0...this sim was produced by a now defunct company called Digital Image Design (DID) back in 1997...this game was originally designed for Win 95...I remember playing it on a Win 98 machine as well. Question? Will this game load on my Win XP Pro machine and play? I tried loading it once and had troubles...
Thanx for your time

Never hurts to try. I couldn't get LotR 2 to work for at least 2 years. Then one day I got crazy and decided to try it again.

It installed perfectly and works to this day. I'm assuming a driver update did the trick.

Look for patches online.

Sometimes the compatibility mode will help (not always). I think it has a Windows 95 option.

If you think you were able to successfully install the game onto your hard drive, you can then try right clicking on the game icon; going to properties; then going to compatibility; and selecting running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 95. (crosses fingers :mrgreen: )
