Games on Windows XP

I posted earlier about trying to run Rocky mountain
Trophy Hunter 2 on Win XP. This is the error message i
get: C:\Programs\Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter 2
\Rmth2.exe is not a valid Win32 Application. Is there a
way to get it to play

Have you visited the game web site to get the 1.1 update for it from here
http://www.sunstorm.net/features_downloads.htm, Bill? After installing
that, if you still have problems, I would suggest you take a Compatibility
Mode in Help and Support because the game was written expecting either
Windows 95 or 98 as the operating system. Additional details are here:

Try this: install Tropthy Hunter 2 normally, then copy the Rmth2.exe program directly off the CD and replace the one in the Tropthy Hunter 2 folder in the programs folder with it. The Rmth2.exe program doen't seem to install properly with XP with the normal install!!
