Service Pack 3 game of old game

I fancied playing a pretty old game on a new computer I recently purchased,
Championship Manager 00/01 (I told you it was old). Once installed it
automatically fails and crashes.

The only clue I've got to go with is that when the tick box option is chosen
it tells me that Service Pack 3 needs to be installed. Any thoughts for a
frustrated wannabe managers.

Cheers

Well service pack 3 for Windows XP doesn't exist so you can't 'upgrade' Have
you tired running it in compatibility mode? Right click on the games startup
icon and select properties. In the properties window click the compatibility
tab. Place a check mark in the 'run this progaram in compatibility mode for'
and then select a version of windows fromt he drop down list (maybe windows
98?) Finally click Apply and then see if the game works.
