How to play the original Dungeon Siege on Windows 7

backwards compatibilitydungeon-siegewindows 7

I have installed and attempted to play the original Dungeon Siege on my Windows 7 64 bit computer.

The game runs, but it is horrible choppy and basically unplayable. Looking around it looks like it is a known issue.

Has anyone out there been able to get this game working in Win7 64bit? Or is my solution going to be a virtual machine to XP or something?

(I would like to know if there are other options before I go through all the steps to set up a virtual machine.)

Run the DSVideoConfig.exe in the installation directory, and explicitly select your video card (rather than the default "Primary Display Driver - Hardware" or "TnL").

Also, it looks like an additional step is needed for Legend of Aranna to work. Copy the first line from the DungeonSiege.ini file in the Dungeon Siege folder to the DungeonSiege.ini file in the LoA folder.
