Hi,
I bought a new PC last week (P4, 3.2 Ghz) and wanted to install some old
games on it. I know XP has problems with older games (made for Win 95/98),
but in some cases they can run smoothly. I can install them, they run, but
the picture is divided by a black bar in the middle, having the top of the
picture in the bottom and vice-versa. I tried changing the compatibility
settings for each game, but with little effect on the performance. My screen
is set at 1280x1024 pixels.
Are there any ways to adjust the game settings so that they may run in XP?
I have checked a few of the producers' websites for patches, upgrades etc.
but none of them present anything for the particular games. One mentions
(Eidos), that the game was not produced for XP (Tomb Raider 3), but they do
not have problems themselves running it on an XP-based PC.
Thanks!
