Emperor's HandOh, the joys of modern systems... just like it was nearly-impossible to run certain Win95 games under XP.
If your rig is powerful enough, you may want to try with "virtualization" (I hate this word!). Just like DOSBOX is a faux-MSDOS running within your Windows, you install Oracle VM VirtualBox or Windows Virtual PC which enable you to install a different operating system within themselves (thus making is safe and hassle-free). If that problem with game isn't hardware-related, it should help, because the game will be run under the older operating system environment.
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Mine is OK with XP but will not even install in Windows 7!!!!
Same here. No luck getting Rogue Squadron 3D to install on 64-bit Windows 7. I even tried this workaround, but still no dice.

Where am I????I have an old Pentium 300 in the loft and just about every possible Star Wars game available up to about 2002 is installed on it.
I might try and find out if I can make the HDD into a Virtual PC vhd file for my newer PC's
