hmm, im having a somewhat similar problem. I installed the game with the recent patch. But running it just crashes to my destkop. tried running with win98/me compatibility and no dice. very unfortunate as i like this game alot.
could it be an issue with windows xp pro SP2 along with directx 9b/c?
anyone else having the same problem? any fixes/workaround for this?
 
if anything, i guess i must install windows 98 on another partition to play this game haha. very annoying!

Well sorry to say it, but I've got Alliance running perfectly on my SP2/DirectX 9.0c box. I've had no problems at all.
 
Video driver issue???
