I'm having some trouble getting it to work on said platform. When I start the game for the first time it tells me that it won't support hardware acceleration. And then when I click OK it just plain crashes, no errors, no nothing. If I then start it again it goes "Hey I crashed last time, just letting ya know" and when I click OK it crashes again.

I don't really know what to do to get it to function. I've tried compatibility mode but that doesn't work either. And the dumbest thing is: It DOES work on my WinXP machine.

If anyone can shed some light on the situation, that'd be great!

Did you try with lower resolutions first? I think I had a similar problem when I was on 2K.

I switched to 640x480 before starting the game, but with the same results.

Hmm... I was just thinking, maybe it's related to the game NOT switching to 320x240 on startup (which it DOES do on my WinXP machine), so does anyone here have MGS, and can I have their config file, with resolution set to 640x480 in software mode?
