Running freeware from win95 in XP not working

[Laish]

Hey there all. I have a freeware game I like that will
not work in XP. What can I do to play it again, they
have not released any updates for it at all. And no WEB
sites for it either. I was told I can load Win95 ontop
of XP is this right.

Hi,

You can't load Win95 on top of WinXP. You can however try using
compatibility mode. Click start/all programs/accessories/program
compatibility wizard to start.

No. What you might succeed with is going to All Programs = Accessories
= Program Compatibility Wizard, pointing it (using the manual browse) to
the program, and saying 'pretend to be Win95'.
