Hi jlmaat,

Perhaps an easy workaround for your problem would be
to start the game by running the install program on the CD
to see if it has a Play option available on the menu.

no go Ihave to install yet again

That's unfortunate. It is most likely one of three problems:

1. Drivers need updating,
2. Game needs Administrator's account
3. The CD Rom is failing the Copy Protection test.

Therefore, I would recommend the following jlmaat:

1. Try updating your Video drivers using the instructions at: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html#drivers

2. Use an Administrators account to install and run TS

3. This patch for TS may correct issues with the copy protection:

I hope my advice helps you jlmaat, please keep me posted.
