RCT and Windows XP

[tjcjr]

Any advice on how to get RCT (any version) to work under Windows XP ? I got Corkscrew Follies to work but Loopy Landscapes just isn't happening for me.

Roller Coaster Tycoon, it was one of the best selling PC games of all times. They just announced a sequal. Roller Coaster Tycoon lets you create and manage your very own theme park.

Trust me, its a lot of fun and very aditing!:animwink:

Thanks WDW Imagineer !!!
What I had to do was reinstall the software, run the patch you sent and then change the RCT executable (using the XP compatibility mode utility) to Win 98 compatible and in the same spot lower the reolution to 640x480. After rebooting and getting into RCT, I used the options setting from the Menu bar to set the resolution back to 800x600 and all works fine now. :sohappy:
