Hiya,
This is a problem which I've been wrestling with for quite some time now, and 
I'm not sure what could be causing it.
I have a desktop which runs Windows XP professional, and a laptop which runs XP 
Home.  
I'm able to play some games, like Smugglers 3, Anacreon for Windows, etc. on 
the desktop, while I can't on the laptop for some reason.  The best way I can 
describe
 this is that the desktop games show some dialogues
 which the laptop games do not.  In Anacreon's case, in particular,
 the report window which lets me know about new technology, as well as news and 
such, doesn't show up on the laptop.  Similarly, mission objective
 information in the Smugglers 3 game doesn't show consistently, though the 
handicap isn't as serious in that
 case.
I'm not at all sure what could be causing this problem.  I have tried fiddling 
with the CPU affinity of the programs--my laptop is duel core, my desktop 
isn't.  This hasn't done anything.  I've also looked for missing DLL files and 
such, but no go here either.
This is a really baffling problem.
Does anybody here perhaps have a clue of what could be going on?
Thanks,
Zack.
