The chances are you wont get it working unless you have a PC with an older Windows installation. I've played it under Windows '98 SE, so you wouldn't have to go too retro to get it to work.

Actually, I got it working just fine under Windows XP. Just right click on the Setup.exe which is on the CD, goto the Compatibility (I think) tab and choose Windows 95. After that, click OK, and run Setup. When it's installed, find where you installed it to, and perform the same action to wipeout2.exe. It should work, but FAST on any respectable computer. You'll probably need cpuKill or something like that to make it playable. If not, you should probably re-format and put Windows 98 on that computer anyways, running XP on anything that runs Wipeout XL at normal speed is kind of like trying to tow a tractor-trailer with a Geo Metro.
