I used my vista version dvd disk from your patched files & installed under xp as you have stated that it's only the setup that is different between both versions.
If you created the disc in Vista it will work in XP, and if you created the disc in XP it work in Vista. The files are all the same.
The only differences in the instructions are
How to get to the command prompt from the Start Menu
The command to copy the cds to the hard drive
It is assumed your XP account is an Administrator
Vista requires Run As Administrator

Played well under xp except for a static line across the screen. I thought I will change lock video from -1 to 1 just in case & then I get thick coloured lines across the screen unable to see anything but lines. I thought I will set the affinity to one processor but found that was already done. imagecfg does not work, maybe you have already included it.
I cannot get back into overseer now except for these lines. Any idea what the poblem is.
It must be a video problem under xp, No problem when playing under vista.
My first thoughts are Video drivers. Did you try an older or newer version of the drivers? I do not think it is a video codec issue.
The machine I tested with is a Toshiba Satellite M40 with a Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go. I'm using older drivers from Toshiba's website 7.3 (released in 2005). The software environment is
Windows XP with SP3 and all updates from
Windows Update, Divx 6.8.5, Xvid 1.1.3, Nero 7. That is the only software on that machine besides the drivers for all the other hardware.
You could download the overseer files from Nilo's site (
http://home.wideopenwest.com/~hbech/), then recopy the overseer.exe and tex.ini files from the dvd you created. Hopefully this will get you back to just the one static line across the screen. Then you could try installing a different version of the video card drivers.
Otherwise, I would uninstall Overseer. Install a different video driver. Reinstall Overseer from the dvd you created. May require trying multiple video drivers.
Maybe someone else will have a few good ideas to try.
