I'm trying to play "Metal Gear Solid" on my PC but it'll only work in "Software Mode", which looks awful.

I'm running XP, and a 6600GT.

I've tried running it in Compatability Mode for 98/ME to no avail.

Konami list no patches :-(

Any Ideas?
 
try updating your video card drivers to the latest version. perhaps there is a patch for said game to run on newer systems, i'd do a bit of googling for that.
 
Try the compatibility modes for NT and 2000 too. Nothing to lose.

My favorite old game, Homeworld, runs best in the Windows NT compatibility mode even though it ran perfectly fine in my old Windows 98SE machine, so you never know.

Does it say why?

If it has 3dfx Voodoo support, you might be able to try Glidos which emulates 3dfx hardware using current hardware.
