Eastern Front 2 tech questions.

[Fubar]

I have just dug my old copy of Eastern Front 2 out of the cupboard for a trip down memory lane. It install correctly and starts up fine but i seem to be having trouble with the sounds and graphics. It says that my monitor doesn't support 16bit graphics, which it does, and the sound effects and music seem to get themselves stuck in a loop and just keep repeating.

Are these common problems when trying to run this game on XP Pro as this is an old Win95/98 game, is there a patch i can download or is it worth me just waiting till the Matrix versions of the games are out?

Thanks in advance for any help.
