marcb Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hi there, Since I upgraded to XP and later to SP2 (that's if you want to call this an upgrade) some games refuse to work. Reinstalling the games doesn't help either. Specifically, my problems are with Turok 2 (SoE) and Need For Speed (Road Challenge). Anybody with a solution out there?

marcb Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Yes, I got that figured out. But is there a fix? Cheers,Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 There is a compatibility mode in XP that tries to emulate earlier operating systems like Windows 98 and Windows ME, but it is so long ago since I used it (around 2 years ago), that I have forgot what to do :blush: All I remember is that it did work though!

andsome Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Put the CD into the drive. If it auto runs stop it. Click START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, and select Compatibility Wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Or right-click on the program executable, select Properties, tab Compatibility, then select the compatibility mode you want (Windows 95, Windows 98/ME, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000).
