Max Payne + Windows XP

V

Vicky

Hi all

Hope someone can help.

I can run Max Payne 2 fine, but I can't get the first Max
Payne game to run, even in compatibility mode. This is on
2 systems, one running XP Home, the other XP Pro. The
best I've managed so far is the tutorial & the first
cinematic cut-scene (Max's wife & child being murdered),
but then I get the 'loading' screen followed by a revert
to the XP desktop with a bit of the Max P screen frame
left behind as detritus.

I've tried Compatibility for 98, ME, 2000 and NT, but nada.

I'm even considering an install of 98 SE on a partition
just to run it, but I've heard you've got to install
Operating systems in order (ie 98SE BEFORE XP) & I really
don't feel like uninstalling & reinstalling XP just to
play one game.

Any ideas anyone?

! MAKE TONS OF QUICK AND EASY $$MONEY!!! YOU COULD HAVE THOUSANDS OF $$ WITHIN WEEKS!!!

I was browsing through news groups just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an investment of $6.00. So I thought, "yeah right, must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address on the bottom of the list and post the article in at least 200 news groups. No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; only 6 stamps & $6, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.

Within days I started getting money in the mail. I figured it would end soon, but the money kept coming. In my first week I made $47. By the second week I had over a thousand dollars. As the weeks went, the money grew. It is certainly worth the $6 investment and 6 stamps! Let me explain how & why it works. Also, make sure you save it to your computer, so you can get the information.

Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and thousands of dollars can be yours in weeks. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for lists.

Here Are The 4 Easy Steps To Success:

Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper: "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."

Now get 6 $1 bills and place 1 inside of Each of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent theft).

Next, place 1 paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them with the $1 bill enclosed. You now should have 6 sealed envelopes each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a $1 bill enclosed in each envelope. What you are doing is creating a service-THIS IS 100% LEGAL!

You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it. I was a little skeptical about the legal aspects of it all so I checked it out with the Postal Service (1-800-275-8777) and they confirmed that it is legal.

Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:

[1] Joy Moore
400 S Kingsley Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90020

[2] Justin Groetsch
4345 Illinois Ave
Kenner, LA 70065

[3] Mac Abeyta
13469 N. Wide View Dr.
Oro Valley, AZ 85737

[4] Arrian Myrick-Stockdell
360 Herrick Road
Brooksville, Maine 04617


[5] Mike Collett
PO Box 68037
Tucson, AZ 85737

[6] Pootan Tootan
PO Box 92
Exeland, WI 54835

Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5,
5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc.) Add YOUR NAME as number 6 on the list.

Try to keep this article as close to the original as possible and post your article to at least 200 news groups.

All you need is 200, but the more you post, the more money you make!

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Your name will be moved up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving Thousands of Dollars in Cash! What an opportunity for only $6, $1 for each of the 6 people listed above. Send it now, add your own name to the list and you’re in business.

You do not need to retype this letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select copy from the edit menu.

Open a blank notepad and place your cursor at the top of the page. From the edit menu select paste.

Save your new notepad file as a text File, if you want to do your posting in different settings, you will always have this file to go back to.

Use the Internet and search for various news groups (forums, message boards, discussions). Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. You are finished and have finished your first posting. Congratulations!

THAT`S IT. All you have to do is post away.

*THE MORE YOU POST, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE*

MAKE CERTAIN ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT

Assume you get a 7.5% return:

When you do 200 posts, 15 people send you $1.00
Those 15 do 200 posts, 225 people send you $1.00
Those 225 do 200 posts, 3,375 people send you $1.00
Those 3,375 do 200 posts, 50,625 people send you $1.00
Those 50,625 do 200 posts, 759,375 people send you $1.00
So far you have received at least $759,375. With an original investment of only $6.00.
