I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I have some games that are only a few years old that used to work with Win98SE but don't work now that I've upgraded to XP

Is it possibel to get some of these games to work - specifically Dune 2000 and Red Alert

Thanks for any help

Right clicking on the game icon and choosing properties /compatibility tab
might do the trick. Jym

Hi Eezy,

Try running them in compatibility mode, right-click the executable,
choose properties > Compatibility tab, and select run in compatible
mode with Windows 98SE.

Hope this helps
