Your problems may be related to specific Windows updates (unfortunately I forgot which but I only ever downloaded the essential ones) - I had trouble after installing some. Fortunately, later updates sloved that problem. When everything is installed correctly there's no need to use compatibility mode, the game should run normally.

True... they say SP2 has a lot of problems. You could do a manual Windows Update from the Microsoft website though.

Agreed, SP2 was basdically too secure. In fact, it was so secure that it attempted to shut me out form using it---disabled my mouse, keyboard, internet connection. Fortunately I could uninstall it and get everything up and running again!
