That would be your prob. They might have a patch out there to update it to run on XP. . . ---

You can right click on the progam and go into properties, and then compatibility mode…and set it to play in win '95 compatibility mode. ---

I wonder if you could hack an XBox to play these older PC games? On a related note, I just looked through my collection of old cdroms and realized how many older games I’ve got that I never even installed or played… If I felt like potentially fucking up my computer I’d see if I could get 3dFX emulation working and running some of them. ---
