I expect it is a problem with your video drivers. Do you have the most
recent XP version installed for you video cards ? Do you have DirectX
9.0b installed ?
Try bringing up TS in un-accelerated wireframe display mode to see if
this is the problem.

Subject: [TSML] Minor problem with TS 6.6 in XP
I just got a new computer with XP. I've been using Win 98 SE. TS 6.6
installed without any problems but when I went to run it it crashed
every time right near the end of it's loading process. It didn't give
any error messages. Just the message from XP with no explanation.
I ran it in Win98 compatibility mode and it was fine. Win2k mode didn't
work.
However, I keep my task bar 2 levels high and locked into position and
the bottom of TS hides behind the taskbar. I have to hide the taskbar
or have it auto-hide but I find that irritating to have to do every
time. I use TS in a lot of fairly short sessions while waiting on other
things. And I don't want to leave the taskbar that way all the time.
I'm not sure if this is related to running in compatibility mode but
that's all I can think of. Has anyone else experienced this and found a
solution? Also, does anyone know why I have to run in compatibility
mode?
It's XP home edition and I have a 2.7 ghz celeron with 256 meg ram (I'll
get more when I can) and integrated graphics with some kind of intel 3d
accellerator.
