I can't get Wheel of Time to run on WindowsXP. I've tried using the compatibility modes but nothing helps. It installs fine, but when I click the icon, I get an error with the "WOT.exe". I should note that this game didn't run when I had Windows2000 either, but I was hoping that the compatibility issues would be resolved with XP. I've also used different graphics drivers. I'm using a TnT2 Ultra.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I believe what you are seeing is a CD copy protection issue with Windows 2000/XP and the Wheel of Time exe (I don't believe this affects everyone, only certain CD-ROM drives). I had the same issue under Windows 2000. There is a way around it. Go to www.gamecopyworld.com and download the Wheel of Time exe that removes the copy protection check. If you have trouble finding it, let me know - I still have it and can send it to you through e-mail.
I'm running an Intel PIII-800 with a TNT2 and I've had no problems running the game fully patched. Without patches, I'm not so sure, but I've had no problems otherwise. I have heard of some CD-ROM drives having issues with the Safedisk protection, so the no-cd patches at gamecopyworld.com or megagames.com might be of some help.
