Help installing an older game on XP

[Chris]

My fil has a brand new computer with Windows XP Home
Edition, and everytime we try and load an older game on
his system we get an error: Windows NT is not supported.

The game he is trying to load is Space Bunnies Must Die
(weird game I know), and he has never been able to try it
out. His last system was too old for the game and the
video card was not supported. This new system should
work fine, but we can't get past the error.

I did try the game on my computer and was able to work it
fine, and I also have XP Home Edition. I didn't even
need to change the compatibility mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!!

Hi Chris,

It's strange that it would install without an error on your
XP Home computer, but not on their XP Home computer.

1. Are you both using Administrator Accounts
2. Have they installed the same Windows Updates as you?
(Service Pack 1 / 1a)
