Thanks again guys...
Affinity didn't work. But nice to know about that now.
As for XP - no can do really - although I may consider dual booting it - one for games the other for work. But that's another 15gb eaten up. Ho hum... Looks like tomorrows gonna be a LONG day...
All this for some virtual subbing...Besides, the game box states vista compatible, and the 1.83 is within the minimum specs.
I guess format reinstall time.
Frakin' computers...
