Well I have to admit defeat. I've tried everything in this thread. The new REBEXE just did not work. I even went out and bought a full upgrade for Windows 7 from Home to Pro. XP Mode? No, Rebellion refused to work. My ONLY option left is to fork out another £50-£70 , and buy a second hand machine with Windows XP installed, and use that to play Rebellion on. This I will do as I love this game, but I cannot believe it has been made virtually impossible to play with Windows 7. I'm pretty pissed off.
