He was referring to a beta ver of XP.

So has this issue ever been fixed???

Which patch for MaxPayne did you try, 1.05 is the latest and addresses that swap back to the desktop problem. You may also want to try a no-cd crack too.

Hi all, my first post so be gentle on me, i have a Athlon and a Gforce 3, i also found that the game would work great in win 98se after i got over the first level but in Win xp pro it would crash back to desktop when loading new level. It did not mater what drivers i used for my Gf3 or what patch i installed but i stumbled on a fix that worked for me, so it may work for others also. I downloaded the game patch v1.01 then extracted the patch to a dir, then copied the file from the patch dir called:e2_d3d8_driver_mfc.dll and copied it to my Maxpayne\e2driver dir replacing the origanal. I have not had any crashes since even with all settings maxed out. I am not shure why this worked but at the time i was desperate to get the game going and tried allsorts, funny enough if i installed the whole patch it did not fix it. Hope it may help someone.
 
Bye,
 
Ian...

I'm sitting with a 1,7GHz machine, winXP and Max Payne.
Problem is that the "compatibiltytrick" doesn't work, all i get is a message telling me that an error has been created blablabla....
 
Any other suggestions? ;(

I have never had an issue with Payne and XP. I've gone from a PIII 550 to a P4 1.8 ghz and I have yet to see a problem....

Works on Xp with both ym Vaio and old work comp below
 
TNT2 - work
G4 4600 ultra - vaio
