Problems when I want to play with Viking Invasion

[Viriato]

Hi, perhaps someone could help me:

I've just installed V.I. but The game crash. Sometimes it crashed just when I make double clic to begin, and other times I entered the game, but when I try to play a campaign, it crashes. I read in an other forum that there is a problem with Service Pack 2 of windows XP, and the solution is remove SP2. Is it true? Is there any other solution?

Thanks if you can help me...

Be sure to first install MTW, and VI after and finnaly patch for VI.

Hope it is help you

I play VI (and VI-based mods) on a WinXP SP2 machine, with minimal problems. Most difficulties seem to stem from video car driver version incompatibilities - why don't you post a little more information about your machine, with driver versions?
