Installing on modern versions of Windows
64-bit versions of Windows can't run the CD installer due to it being a 16-bit application. Trying to run the installer in Windows 7 x64 will cause the process to freeze in the background and require the task manager to close.
Note:
The ReadMe of the Widescreen & FPS Fix includes some simplified instructions how to install the game on modern systems. However, the instructions below should still work.
