does anybody know how to get IG2 working on Windows xp?
yes , i know IG2 isn't MoO2, but for for $9 bucks for the original copy that's not bad.
yes, i do have access to a Win 98 disk and Win ME(POS that it is!) to run it on if it won't work at all on XP.

I tried playing IG2 - the graphics were too flashy (which is fucking pointless for a strategy game), and the dumbass developers STILL didn't fix the colonial problem - how some areas couldn't be settled because some rocks or shit were in the way. Oh no, we're stuck in the 35th century and can't fucking use BULLDOZERS anymore... whatEVER will we do? I know, we'll just build around the fucking rock piller jutting out of the centre of the colony. 
Played it once, rediscovered that annoying flaw, binned it. I ain't playing a game so stupidly designed. I'll make do with Moo2 or GalCiv.
[EDIT] Ahem, I don't actually know how to help you. Congratulations on your latest acquisition.

Yeah, I bought it ages ago and about two months ago, plooped it in. It worked with my XP.
I liked alot of the interfaces. Especially the Starmaps.
Didn't like the total lack of using tactics in combat. Pretty much came down to building a shit load of powerful ships to fight a shit load of powerful ships.
Loved the Space to Ground combat though. Attacking a fleet, then planetary defenses, then ground forces. Good stuff.
Need a SW mod for that game since my planets usually end up with SW names.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

i don't know, i mean i've been looking for it for a year or so now and while i was keeping an eye out for it, i've been playing Stars! which is worse.... its 2D only, the useable planets are the only thing on the map, its a demo, the AI dosen't know how to make use of the researched technology, sends waves of SCOUTs! for chrissake that get wasted at my nearest planet when they try to kill my starbases, can't even build their own starbases properly, etc
stars! is pretty good for what its trying to achieve, which is being a top-down 2D space strategy game, but it falls flat in the things that i mentioned above.
how did you get IG2 to work with XP?
