    What to do when Win98 Compatibility fails you...

    I just had exactly the same symptoms when trying to run SM2. However, I just realised I was using the SM2.exe that was in the unzipped folder, and not the correct one which was in WC1 folder. Changed my shortcut to the one in the WC1 folder and now it works properly ! Hope this helps .

    I took a look at all the posts - dont think I can compete with some of the writings there - they way too good !! Do you guys take notes while playing the game or something ?? I can never remember what I did in a particular mission - way too busy avoiding asteroids or killing cats :-)
