I don't have a windows system thats capable of running it, the closest
is my son's and he needs to have an old TNT card to play some old games
that don't seem to like anything newer.  The other issue is his 4GB hard
drive.

Though I may see if I can borrow somebody else's just to do a test.

Thanks for the reply.
