Default game software won't load on xp


I have tried installing Alchemy/Bejeweled onto Windows
XP. I have tried using compatability mode and going to
the CD drive and clicking on setup.exe. This is a new CD
and I have installed it on Windows ME. The CD says it is
compatable with Windows 98 and ME. Why won't it work on
XP? Will all of my games be like that?

Hi T,
Did you try the autorun with Compatibility? Sometimes CD protection is
stopping the routine.
Not all games are like that.

Thanks for the post!
