I did my original install of Extreme in Windows for Workgroups, I did a full install. Now whenever I use it I do it from Windows 95 (allthough I might have had to copy several dll files into Win95 to do that, I don't really remember). It sounds like they've changed the Extreme package since I bought it since it didn't used to come with Fritz4 eng, only Extreme3 & 4 eng. For what it may or may not be worth, I run Extreme from C:\EXTREME\XTREME.EXE and not from C:\EXTREME\LAUNCH5.EXE because it sidesteps some advertising, so posibly try running it from XTREME.EXE on your seedy rom and see if that'll get it to run at least from the CD.
