just questions...

hi,
I've got simple questions! Why some games don't run in
XP? If there is a game that runs in Windows 2000 or
NT,does it also run in XP? Are they compatible? Because
I've got few games which I had in Win98 and I wanted to
play them on my XP OP...But they don't work...It's really
annoying...
All I have to do is to buy games that plays on XP..but
those games are rubbish!!! I like my old games,really!!

Any comment??

Lloyd, very few games won't run on Windows XP. Take a look in Help and
Support for information on Compatibility Mode. I just helped a fellow today
use Compatibility on a five-year-old CAD program designed for Windows 98 for
which he was about to fork over $400 to get a new version. There's more
information here, too:

Actually yes...I have a reply. for some reason, xp won't
run older games such as from 95 and 98 version windows
programs. even setting the compatability mode doesn't
help. I play a game called delta force and it plays great
on 98 but, won't play in xp.....don't know what's going
on, but as far as i can tell there is no solution. sorry.

Have you fully updated your computer from Windows Update, Joyce? Reports
are that it runs fine on Windows XP with SP1 installed.
