I couldn't get 1.9 to run, gives the not a win32 application message instantly. I tried version 1.05 and it works fine. Redownloaded file a few times each time same error.

Dunno if this is related but when I check properties on the exe under signatures it says "one of the countersignatures is not valid. The file may have been altered."

No clue what I am doing, haven't played this game for years.

XP support got dropped a while back unfortunately, so current versions won't run on it.

If you have troubles running in Windows XP then maybe you'll have better luck with Windows 7. If that too isn't a sound decision for you, how bout going with Linux? This game is amazingly easy to run with Wine.
