Hi, just a quick question to see of anyone has run into the same thing. Before switching to XP I had a lot of old games for 95 and 98 like Sim City, Need for Speed, etc.. I find now some of them will not run and others run very badly. I have tried setting the properties of the program to rum in 95 or 98 modes but the problem still exists. Anyone run into this? Than Thanks!
 
Very common, a lot of 16 bit games (and utilities) won't run under XP.
 
know the feeling.
got some industrial software for automaton programming,
for some Kithara DOS enabler works a treat, but not all...

if its not broken, fix it anyway - with luck you might break it and have an excuse
