Emperor: Battle for Dune

I can't run Emperor: Battle for Dune on my computer. Windows compatability mode DOES NOT WORK under any setting. Is it possible to get this to run or should I once again consider running windows 98 instead?

I can confirm it definitely works on Windows XP, and on my system without
messing with compatibility mode etc.

What exactly is it doing, or not doing?

Hi George,

According to the articles on this page Emperor should run on
Windows XP. Take a look through this list to see if it helps:

Are you getting any errors? The game runs here without any compatibility
mode as it was made for Windows XP

Hi George and Chris,

I have this game as well, and had no problems running it on Windows XP after
installing the updates. George, have you made you sure install the latest
patch for this game?

If I recall, there's an automatic update option/application that will allow
you download the most recent patches. You can also go to www.eagames.com
and see about getting the patch from there as well.

Hope that helps!
