The colors are all screwed up and moving around the room glitches, forcing the scene of the character asking you not to make him dizzy, to occur. It does come with all 8 CDs, but no box or instructions.

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? I've had problems running Roller Coaster Tycoon before, but doing that and disabling visual themes fixed it.
(I'm pretty sure RCT is newer though, so I'm not 100% sure it it will work with your game...)

putting it in compatibility mode just messes with mouse support.

4GB of RAM has always been enough for me :P

I'd like to get Windows 7, because it supports a lot more than 4 GB. My newer computer's board supports up to 8 GB, but XP isn't reading more than 3.25 GB for me. I'm also a Photoshop junkie with an interest in video editing, so more RAM is essential for those.

4GB is fine for both of those things.
