1) Apologies about my site, many people have experienced problems at one time or another. I've never had problems so it's hard for me to address it. Try accessing it from a proxy site, such as www.kproxy.com I finally figured that out a couple weeks ago. I have no idea how or why, but my IP is listed as spam so it won't EVER let me just go to your site. I always have to use the proxy but its no big deal.

My whole http://digitality.comyr.com/ domain is also blacklisted as spam on some websites. So that's one reason also, why people can't access it. God knows how it got blacklisted as spam.

Funny part is, I bought a house and moved a couple months ago, different company, different modem, and same problem. Now when I signed up, it assigns me a new IP, so how is it BOTH totally random IPs are listed as spam, my old one and now my new one? Odd company to list so many IPs as spam. Edit: So I went to find the exact listing that your site told me my IP was spam, and your site loaded right up without an issue..../boggle. Dunno if you contacted them but for the first time ever I can access your site without a proxy...cheers

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but if it helps someone to play a sim or two I think it's worth it. I'm the guy who emailed Flyboy about Creative ALchemy. Just wanted to mention my latest experience:
I haven't played LB2 in a few years, and went to install it on my newer Windows 10 PC. Ran into the same issues as before, then remembered. I slapped a Creative card into my new rig and just like that, I could play LB2 again... zero issues on 64 bit Windows 10. This time though, I grabbed the box for Eidos' JSF which I haven't been able to play it since 2003 or so despite trying on several systems over the years. Sure enough, right there in the requirements is Creative SoundBlaster... most games say "sound card" but this specified Creative. I used ALchemy on the JSF executable, and just like that can play it. I'm partway through a campaign. Earlier when I went out to do yard work, I left it running on instant action and it was still running over an hour later. The only thing is, I need "big pixels" enabled for some reason. Works great though.
I'm going to have to dig through all my older games and see what else this fixes. Just wanted to share that, in case it helps anyone else. Cheers.

Nah, you're a huge LB2 resource and why I am playing it now! As far as I can tell, you need Creative hardware but also have to install ALchemy which brings back legacy support that was removed from Windows. At least, I tried running the software without any Creative hardware and it just said there was no supported device. Mine is the X-Fi, which is a good card anyway, so I'm happy to use it. Disabled my onboard and am using it instead. This also solved M1 Tank Platoon 2's end of mission crashes in Glide mode. I just finished my first ever M1TP2 campaign in Glide... loved it. Number of crashes: 0
