Never played the Max Payne series before so I decided to pick both up.

Now, Max Payne 1 installs fine but for some reason it won't load. As soon as the very first option screen pops up (install, readme, tools etc.. ) and I press 'play', the game just conks out and refuses to go any further.

Here’s the relevant spec;

XP Pro SP3
8800GTS
1.05 patch

Any ideas how to get it working? I did think about buying it again off steam but if I encounter the same problem what’s the point.

Edit: Tried changing compatibility mode to 2000/95 etc.. still no luck.
