I recently unearthed a copy of Raptor which used to run on my Win98 machine. Now I am running XP which, generally is faster, but this game keeps stumbling, and the sound too is very uneven. Could someone tell me how it's performance could be improved? Pointing me to an article in Digit would do, as I have about a year and half worth of them, plus the archive CDs.

Thanks

use the prgram compatibility wizard...
start->all programs->accessories->program compatibility wizard
and select win98 under it....
or u could also do this: go 2 the properties of that prgram and click the compatibility tab and change the settings...
