    I installed Windows XP SP3 today on my bootcamp partition, and it installed fine. Then I go to play black and white 2, and the graphics are higer, and I can select graphics options I could not before. I quit the game, and uninstalled SP3. I tried both the -MINSPEC command, and the -LOWMEM one, but didn't change anything. How can I get the game to go back to the way it was?

    Specs are in my sig :)

    Go in the game directory. There should be an executable for the setup utility.

    What about when you put the dvd in? What options do you have on the launcher screen?
