Windows XP support statement
You may not have any problem running any game published
by Eidos Interactive using Windows XP. There are a few
things that we want you to be aware.
Many of our games were developed for Windows 95/98 long
before the release of Windows XP.
Many of our games were developed using the DirectX API.
While Windows XP does support DirectX, many hardware
manufacturers may not have drivers that support the
version that is included with Windows XP. It is common
that some hardware drivers have not been brought up to
the WHQL specifications required for Windows XP. Thus
games that use DirectX will not function correctly or at
all.
We can only warrant and support our products when they
are run using the operating system for which they were
designed. These specifications are clearly listed on the
product packaging or at our web site
Older DOS games (Such as Tomb Raider) will not function
and are not supported.
Ultimately, it is the responsibility of Microsoft and/or
specific hardware manufacturer to provide for backward
compatibility with Windows XP; this is to insure that the
device drivers are compatible.
At this time we do not have plans to change our older
titles to make them Windows XP compatible for the reasons
above. We realize this may be a problem for some users.
If you have Windows XP on your machine, and the game will
not function, your best course of action may be to return
the game to the place of purchase.
