Windows 98 Games
I have several Windows 98 games that I have tried to install on Windows xp,
but have been unsuccessful each time. I was told there was a way to revert my XP to 98 but i do not know how. I was told this would allow installation but not affect XP. Anybody got a clue? |

Windows 98 Games
You don't provide enough info--is it that the games will not install or do
not run properly once installed. XP does not revert but it does have a compatibility mode. Right click an execute file (sometimes it works on a shortcut to the .exe file as well), select properties and select the compatibility tab. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Beau" wrote in message news I have several Windows 98 games that I have tried to install on Windows xp, but have been unsuccessful each time.
