I suppose you could install Linux on your PC (it's free) and I believe
that a Mac emulator exists for Linux. Of course that's not exactly an
easy solution.

The good point about shareware (i.e. all games found here) is that you
can download and play them /before/ paying anything. (of course you
need to pay to get the full game, but you'll see that it works long before
that).
Many games do not 'officially' support XP because microsoft says that XP
is not 'officially' compatible with certain older graphics and sound
systems. However in practice it works fine 99% of the time. And if it does
not, try checking microsoft.com for patches.

I would suggest going to the microsoft site and searching for terms like
XP DirectX.
It is an unfortunate fact that XP is not fully backwards compatible
with other windows versions.

Hello folks,
sorry for not responding earlier. But I don't read the tech support
forum all the time.
Anyway.
Doer of Stuff -> Unless you are using VPC as Alorael suggests, I
think this is a DirectX problem. However there will be an updated
version of SubTerra available shortly, which may fix the bug as well.
For the record, SubTerra doesn't officially support windows 95
even though it tends to work anyway.
I'm afraid Geneforge has nothing to do with it as there are very little
similarities between GF and ST. Apart from them both being great
games of course
Daemon -> You're saying the /installer/ crashes? That's really weird.
Could you tell me what you did to get out of this problem?

If you have any windows problems such as this one then downloading the latest versions of everything
would be my first suggestion towards fixing them.
Isn't the girl named Keegan?
A little help...

on the dxdiag panel is a list of all DirectX files with their version
numbers. It is not uncommon that these vary wildly (i.e. directdraw 8,
directound 6 and a half, etc). This usually doesn't cause much of a
problem but sometimes it might.
Some older games have a tendency of overwriting a newer directx version with
an older one at install time, which does cause a problem.
Both can be fixed (usually) by downloading the most recent version from
microsoft's webpage. I've had at least two experiences myself with
directmusic crashing my computer because of version trouble.
