These older games almost always have "fixes" check the forums (lucas arts). I know i had it running, I'm sure i had to use the compatiblitly mode in Win7 and there was a DLL download. You had to (if I remeber right) install and UPDATE before you ran it. as for compatibility mode, right click the start icon and select properties and then the comabtbility tab. Most old games work best in XP service pack 2 (or 3). Hope that helps some.. it does work in newer OS's but there are a few hoops to jucmp through.
