You will probably have a better chance of a response if you post this message in the FU3 section of the forum. I don't use FU3 anymore, but I had no problems at all installing and running it under Windows XP.

1- Can WinXp explorer read the disks individually? If it can, maybe copy the cds to your hd if you have the room and install from your hd.2- Perhaps you need to "force" the setup.exe. (something needed for another Looking Glass Studios game)"Go to Start, then Run, then type d:\setup.exe -lgntforce, where d:\ is your CDrom/DVDrom drive. (note: that's -lgntforce, lowercase "L". If you're unsure, copy and paste it from here.) This problem arises because Win2K, WinXP and Vista are based on the NT kernel, which had DirectX support which was flaky at best. Thief needs DirectX to run, so, when the installer sees the NT kernel, it assumes that the game isn't going to be able to run and quits the installation. The -lgntforce switch tells the installer to ignore the NT kernel and install anyway."Please feel free to drop by our Flt3 forum for more assistance. Those guys are quite savvy at solving Flt3 issues. goodluck and take care,jimbThe Avsim Flight Unlimited 3 forum location: * Other Forums * > Other Flight Simulation Software * > The Flight Unlimited Series
