I'm bumping this as I'm in the same boat so to speak. Already have SHII and PA installed and working OK on Xp. I just changed my ATI x850xt card for a 8800gt and they both still work, but some of the menu texts are now scrambled or missing. That's not a biggy because you can still click on where they were, however, my copy of DC just arrived and it will not install. I get the splash screen OK but when I click on install, the installer flashes on the screen for about a second, then disappears leaving the hourglass going for another five seconds, and then nothing. Tried the disc on the 98se machine and it installs OK, I'm getting the Janus error when I launch it which is a DirectX issue, so the disc is OK and appears to be genuine as far as I can tell box and all.
ASUS P5G MB
NVIDIA 8800GT OC
4GB RAM
Xp Pro SP3
The little voice in my ear says this is the video drivers on the new card issue, and I have tried 98 and 95 compat modes.
