CTP2 is not set up to play on Windows NT. It seems that Activision decided it was not worth it to support that system, along with so many other OS's!! Sorry!

Well, the game requires DirectX (like many other games). I'm not sure what the minimum version is required to run the game, but it's not suprising that NT doesn't have it. On the other hand, the game runs just fine under Windows 2000 (which is an upgrade to NT, not to 95/98).

I concur with Pyaray, I too am running Windows 2000 (which is an upgade to Windows NT) and CTP2 loads fine on my system.

G_W_H_79, do you have the option of loading Windows 2000 or even Windows 98?
