installation of older games on xp home edition

[Guest]

I've just bought 3 disney games for my daughter but cannot install them.
Have been onto the help site where they gave me instructions in DOS to
recreate some files, totally lost me, then found out that because I have
service pack 2, it may not let me run older games. please help 5 yr old
plaguing me for 3 days now

XP does not have MS-DOS, so you have to install an emulator. Try this:

Please help us to help you. What games? What does "cannot install them"
mean? What happens when you try? If you get an error message, please quote
it verbatim.
