google it

or try it out on the computer (you might want to change the compatibility mode to whatever the recommended o/s is on the box that the game came in)

Hey Torac, Your inventory looks like mine as i have most of them. Dungeon Siege doesn't play well on anything as far as I know. I has locked up continuously Everytime I played it until I got to the the last 1 or 2 Chapters. I was constantly saving so as not to lose progress. As for the rest, I don't really know. Setting the compatibilty mode as needed as was suggested may help. coastie
