box says it will run on xp. it does , sorta. (setup seems to automatically set pc in compatibility mode :p ). have ati graphics chipset. had to set at 16bpp and 800x600. still have disappearing robots and pet occasionally but no lockups. forcing reload of display (min/max,alt-tab/alt-tab back,etc.) brings everything back for a while but its annoying to continually do this. any ideas?
ps: wish i had found this site before buying a 'new' copy. the only thing 'new' is the setup process. i had already gotten the old version to run except for the 'disappearing...' problem. so im right back where i started. :p
XP..... sigh sst and XP don't like each other much.
Have you browsed the tech support page? most of what we know is there. the SGT forum also has lots of start up advice....
I must confess I'm not that familiar with XP. I used '98 till I got a mac...
I wish you luck!
Please feel welcome to come back!
Have you tried yet to play it in Win98 compat-mode? XP gives you the option.
Right-click the Icon (sst.exe) on your desctop and choose win98 mode.
good luck and have fun with the game, come back if you have more questions, please
