Win 9x/XP Compatibility Question....
I want to know the solution to run Windows 98 game in Windows XP. I know that by right clicking on the application we get compatibity modes and we can choose it to run in the desired compatibility mode but is there anything if this method fails? Moreover this method works only if the program is a single executable file but what to say about the programs which create hundreds of files?
Actually, I am trying to run a game "Need For Speed:High Stakes" in Windows XP. But the exe file nfshs.exe is not supported by XP and it reads something like "nfshs.EXE is not a valid Win32 Application". I have encountered this problem in many Electronic Arts games that were released between 1999-2001 and they all follow this problem. Similarly SuperBike 2001 doesn't runs on my computer while new EA games like NFS Underground 1 & 2, NFS HP2 run easily.
So I want to know is there a solution to this problem ? Like for running DOS programs in WinXP/2K we have DosBox, is there any utility for Win9x programs in WinXP?
==> Or simple, do you know a patch released by Electronics Arts regarding these kinds of problems?
All suggestions are welcome.
thanx
