Um, why don't you just use the PC that you got the copy of FS1 from? A P3 should have no problems running it and it's just for one game.

Why wont patching work? If the patch overwrites the exe and the exe has the special secret ninja code that makes it work only on certain machines then it will fix it. But if it writes the special secret ninja stuff in the registry... well, it still might help, but maybe not.

Did you know you could get an evaluation version of Windows NT 4.0 and if you applied the service pack the evaluation period would disappear?

Cheeky Technically you can get a patch to overwrite near enough anything, the problem is in most cases it isn't practical.

oh well, like my new siggy?

------------------
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

It's about as big as his image...that is, too big. I mean, we all love Monty Python, but seriously...let's just hope you didn't type that one from memory!
