Re: Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 said by ExitWound:If you have a newer processor in your PC, try Windows 7 XP Mode. It's an XP emulator, for the most part, that should run most XP programs without a hitch. I haven't tried it with Rollercoaster Tycoon, but ya never know. It's available directly from Microsoft. I think xp emulation mode will only run in 2D (desktop mode) and not for gaming. Anyone confirm or deny?
Oh yeah, I wanted to mention I played this game on Vista 64 w/ the waterpark expansion last year sometime and I didn't have any issues with it. Could be one of the expansions with your game... if you can try installing the base game and see if that yields the same problem.

| You were playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 if you had the waterpark expansion (Splash, I think it's called). The OP is trying to play RCT 2. It's a whole different animal. RCT1 and 2 were both released before Windows XP and most users were using Windows '98.
Windows '98 has a DOS based kernel while XP/Vista/Win7 all are NT based Kernels. Getting RCT1 and 2 to run in the NT Kernel is a bit tricky at times. The games just weren't designed to run on NT.
What I ended up doing is installing Windows '98 in DOSbox. I tried Virtualbox, but I coudn't get any video/sound drivers for '98 to work properly. Windows '98 isn't really supported in Virtualbox, but, it runs pretty well in DOSBox.
