Reinstalled, chose laptop installation, did not install drivers 6.0, was told I was running XP(!) and did I want an update, pressed no. When I tried to play, the game crashed. I installed alien crossfire (typical, no laptop available), and was able to open it, but when I chose which mode to play, if I had the original CD in, I got a picture of a spaceship in the background, and a message to insert the correct CD and try again. When I had alien crossfire in, the picture stayed for about 30 seconds, then disappeared. An eggtimer-equivalent stayed for a little, then disappeared too. I tried reinstalling, this time with typical for both and saying I did want the update (I was told I was 'out of memory or resources' again), and it made no difference.
