Before I purchase this game I was wondering if it is playable on Windows 2000 NT ?
Thanks

It runs fine on XP Pro, but I upgraded before I tried it on 2k.

I personally, haven't tried it on 2000 NT, but I know that the shareware version ran okay. The only problem anyone ever had was that they didn't have a sound card on their NT box and that caused problems. I believe that I fixed that on Divided Galaxies although not yet on the shareware version. Do you have a sound card?

The game(STUN: DG) works for me on WIN2000, but I had to make a virtual CD using cloneCD and Virtual Daemon V3.0 to get it to run. I don't have the same problem running it on the same hardware with ME. But I hate ME, so no go. <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> I had the same problem with Empire Earth and Diablo 2. Both worked with ME, but stopped working with 2000 even though it was the same system, just a new OS.

Could someone recommend a DVD-rom or CD-rom that will work with STUN: DG and WIN2000?

STUN DG works fine on Win2k SP2 with a Lite-On LTN486 48x drive for me. I know we tested it on some other Win2k configurations, but I'm not sure at this time what their specs were.

Works great on my Win2K SP2 box.

My Win2000 system has SP2, in fact I would say it is close to SP2.5 with so many hot fixes on it. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I should tell you that the drive I'm using is a cheap $(US)20 drive I got from compusa after my good drive died about 3 months ago. My old drive worked fine with 2000 and Diablo 2 so I'm sure my new cheap drive just can't handle 2000 and the safedisc/secrom software. I'm trying to make sure my next drive will work with the current games I have, and hopefully with future games that I buy. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the second post, but maybe one of the WIN2000 experts could explain why 2000 is more picky than 98se/ME with CD-ROMs and safedisc/sec/etc?

I have a very plain setup:
SP2 + about 15 or more Hotfixes
GeForce 2 GTS yada yada
SB Live! (love the "!")
P4 1.7ghz (Don't laugh)
256 RDram (stop snickering!)
Intel D850GBAL motherboard with latest drivers and Bios.

All of which was had for under $900us last April, so no laughing out there you AMD fans <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Crappy CD-Rom, right?

Moles,

check during booting up your PC if the CD/DVD Drive(s) are properly recognized by the BIOS. I had and still have this problem occasionally with W2k and WinXP. A reboot works the error out.
I´m running a Panasonic DVD and a TEAC CD Drive on an ABIT KT7a Motherboard (formerly an ABIT BE6). Switching CD drives with those of my friends didn´t help, so it is a BIOS and/or OS problem. I don´t think it´s a problem with SUDG <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> .

Btw, SUDG runs like a charm on both W2k and Win XP OS´s.
