Zoo Tycoon 1 Major Issues

[aheadofthegame4]

I happen to like Zoo Tycoon 1 better than 2 so I bought the game for my Vista Home laptop. I know it is made to run with XP, but I figured I could run it in compatibility mode and it would be fine. I installed the game fine, but I noticed the icon was a generic icon instead of the normal Zoo Tycoon icon. Then I clicked on it to play and the landing page didn't even come up, it was just a black run/cmd type box that closed itself out as fast as it appeared...and I couldn't read what it said til after I made it come up 1000 times...it says something like program too big for memory or something like that but thats not true because this laptop is nearly new and has way more space than this game requires...help!!!

Have you patched the game at all?
