I bought a new computer over the weekend.
It included the new Windows XP.
After playing around with the new features and just generally familiarizing myself with the system I decided to try out one of my games.
To my surprise, it wouldn’t install and a message came up saying it requires Windows 95.
Can this be right? Have all my games become incompatible?
I’d hate to think I’d have throw out all these games and start a new collection over this.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is there a fix?
You might try to run the program in the win95 compatibility modus. To do that (I have to work from memory here, since I don’t have XP at work) you must right-click the executable of the application you’re trying to run, then click properties and then there will be a Compatibility tab (or something like that) and there you can choose to run the program in win95 compatibility mode.
Thanks TlighT, I’ll give that a try.
