TR2 was designed to run under Windows 98. So your game may need a little tweaking to run smoothly on a computer running Windows Vista or XP. Before patching, try this simple fix:

1. After installing the game, locate the tomb2.exe or tr2gold.exe file. (Use the Search function in the Windows Start Menu if you have trouble.)
2. Right-click on the tomb2.exe or tr2gold.exe icon and choose 'Properties' from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the 'Compatibility' tab.
4. Check the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose 'Windows 98/Windows Me' from the list.
5. Click the 'OK' button.
6. Run the game as usual.

If that doesn't work, you may also need to download and install the TR2 version 2.0 patch (see below).

If the demos or expansion level downloads won't install, you may need to set the compatibility mode on the downloaded demo files as described in the paragraph above before installing, as well as on the game program files once they are installed.

If that doesn't work, you may also need to download and install one of the unofficial Windows Vista/XP patches, which are part of tombraiderchronicles.com's excellent Windows Vista and XP Tomb Raider Solution.

There are various other patches for TR2, including two official patches to fix various issues, a couple of video card-specific patches, and a few unofficial patches for fun stuff like the flight cheat.

• PC TR2 version 2.0 Patch (351 KB) - Official fix from Core Design for various issues, including some Windows XP and 2000 compatibility issues
• PC TR2 version 1.1 Patch (322 KB) - Official fix from Core Design for various issues
• PC TR2 CD-Access Patch (367 KB) - Official patch fixes a problem some users experience in which the game accesses the CD constantly
• Flight cheat patch (5 KB) - for TR2, 3 & 4 - unofficial, use at your own risk.

In addition to the official game patches, various hardware-specific patches were also released. Most of this hardware is no longer in use today, but if you need any of these patches, visit Eidos Tech Support or use Google to search for your particular hardware if necessary.

If you are unable to see the video sequences at the start of the game and between certain levels, or if you just want to watch them again, you may want to download EscapePlay (765 KB) to watch the movies outside the game. The readme.txt file included with the download explains how to use it.

For additional help with technical issues, please refer to my Tech Support Links page.

I prefer the use of savegame editors to game "trainers", but if you really want one, they are out there. Use Google to search for keywords like "tomb raider 2 trainer".

Savegame & Position Editors are fairly easy to use and make for more "realistic" cheating. Instead of making Lara invincible, you can add just a few medi-packs, a weapon or some ammo, a key you missed, or just a little extra air when Lara needs it. The position editor lets you reposition her anywhere in a level, for fun or to avoid danger.

The music for Tomb Raiders 1-3 was composed by Nathan McCree. Certain clips are available in MP3 format on his web sites: Meode Productions (under "Portfolio") and McCree Music (under "Games"). I'm also told that Eidos has licensed the music to a distributor, so hopefully that means fans will soon be able to buy and/or download all the TR soundtracks. As soon as I learn more, I'll post that info here.

In the mean time, if you have the original game CD, you can listen to the audio tracks on a music CD player or with Windows Media Player. Just skip the game data tracks, which will sound like static and electronic noise. I believe this works with both PC and PlayStation discs, though I'm not sure about Macintosh.

The Tomb Raider movie soundtracks are available on Amazon.com and iTunes.
