Hi there!
When I run Tropico 2 it starts fine, I select the tutorial or a new game, the animation runs and then when I see the Tropico 2 logo (and the game loads the actual level) it crashes unceremoniously into Windows again.
The only message given is that "this program has stopped working".
I got the Tropico Reloaded pack on GOG, which includes Tropico and Tropico 2; now Tropico runs fine (although it won't allow hardware 3D acceleration, because it claims I do not have the DirectX 7 drivers and 16MB of video RAM (the former is probably true, but that's neither here nor there.
Hardware/Software:
Windows 8
DirectX 9c/10/11
AMD FX9350 CPU
AMD HD7950 GPU
