I have a laptop (Panasonic cf-48) running XP the game loads fine and I can
play it but after shutting my pc off and comming back and turning it on I
can't play it I'vedone everyting I can but the screen goes black then back
to my desktop.
 
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.

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. :-)
