Black and White won't run in XP.

This thread at Short Media Forums, Here, goes into a lot more detail.

You may be able to run the game using Win 98 compatibility and patching it.

I suggest you read the thread I linked to.

Found out how to fix the problem.

First, download the latest patch (v1.3 is what I used)

http://www.fileplanet.com/121613/120...ite-v1.3-Patch

Also, it wouldn't start at all in win 98 compatibility but seems to work fine with no compatibility mode selected.

Hope this helped!

Also, you may need p5dll.dll
It said I needed that for some reason before anything would work after I patched to 1.3

Sorry, didn't see that. I was just looking for a solution for my issues and this wasn't answered.
