My Spybotics software runs fine on Win2k Pro, but I have yet to get a
usb/serial adapter...

Be sure to review your PC compatibility first. From lego.com:

"Minimum System Requirements: Windows® 95/Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, • Pentium® II
233 MHz processor, 32MB RAM, 80MB available hard disc space, Windows® • 98
compatible mouse, Sound Blaster 16T/Windows compatible sound device, 8x
CD-ROM drive, 800 x 600 SVGA display with 1MB RAM in high color • (16-bit),
one available 9-pin RS-232 Serial Port, 28.8 KBPS Modem (optional),
Netscape® Navigator or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (optional)."

Are you sure? On the text support file on the CD it says:

***************************************************************

SPYBOTICS

***************************************************************

1)  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS VERSION
==============================================

Hardware
  350 MHz or Faster Processor
  64 MB RAM
  200 MB of free HD space (More space is required if
  QuickTime, Flash and DirectX installation is needed)
  16 bit Colour (or more) Super VGA monitor
  4Mb graphics card (DirectX 8.0 compatible)
  Sound Card (DirectX 8.0 compatible)
  1 free 9 pin RS-232 Serial Port
  Optional: Modem 28.8 Kbps


Software
  Windows 98, 98SE, ME or Windows XP
  Optional: Netscape 4.0 or higher OR I.E. 4.0 or higher

I installed it just fine on my Win2K PIII-500 laptop, and it installed
on my Win98 PMMX-233 but it only has 1 MB of video RAM and the Quicktime
videos were pretty jerky running off the CD. A full install (600MB!) • might
fix this...

The slower machine  ran the missions just fine though...

Cheers, Ralph

I tried installing it on my laptop (PIII 1Ghz), and it gave me a warning
about not being a compatible OS (Win2K).  It won't run at all--I try • opening
Spybotics, the screen goes black for a sec, then crashes back to desktop.

But my Win98 system at home (PIII 450 Mhz), runs Spybotics just fine.
