    A lot of games just won't install on NT.

    Games I've found to be NT compatible (NT 4.0, SP4 & 5) are:
    Quake 1, 2
    Unreal Tournament
    Halflife

    They always crash at the cd check, Dungeon keeper 2 needs D3D to run and NT dose not have a high enough version, I had the same problem with UT until I "patched" it

    AOK needs directx 7. Get that installed on NT and I'll shake your hand. Only your hand mind.

    Directx 7 will not work on NT with some reg editing
