MSN Gaming Zone problems

Hello,

I'm running VPC 7.0.2, on a G4 Mac, with Windows 2000.

I've been trying with great non-success to play Spades on MSN's Gaming
Zone.

In short, the downloaded software does not seem to install properly. No
matter what I do, I keep getting "zones.exe" errors.

I've already tried, without success, uninstalling "heartbeat" as well as
the MSN Gaming Zone software, then attempting the entire installation
process over again, via the site, all to no avail.

The error log (Dr. Watson) reveals many occurrences of the following:

----------

Application exception occurred:

Has anyone ever succeeded in surmounting similar problems? Or, has
anyone determined that MSN Gaming Zone simply will not work with Virtual
PC?

Thanks in advance,

Ken

VPC does not support 3D graphic acceleration. Online games client
software would most likely download and install with 3D in mind.
