I have just purchased the above game on replay kids (Cheap ).
even more recently i have converted to windows xp.

Hello Wayne,

I have known about this problem for a while, but only just contacted Atari about it.

If you load the game on XP, you are right it doesn't work. But if you right click on the Thomas icon on your desktop, and click 'properties', you get some options.

There is a compatibility tab, and if you click it, you will see options to select a different operating system. I found with XP that the Windows 98/Windows ME option worked. If not try the others.

It worked for me!

Best regards,

Gary Crutchley
