When I open up the setup for sim tower I get this popup
"C:\Desktop\Sim Tower\Setup.exe, Attempt to access invalid address" My brother is able to run this game smoothly on his computer, we're both running on WinXP, and he doesnt have any special programs that is required to play this game. |

Perhaps you could try dosBox to run it. Even though your brother can run it smoothly it doesn't guarentee anything with XP.
P.S What year was Sim Tower released?

It's a Windows game, Jane. DosBox won't help jack in making it work.
The only thing I can suggest is that you use the compatibility modes - right-click on the executable and select [PROPERTIES] and then [COMPATIBILITY]. |

Actualy you can run it in dosbox, but you first have to install windows 3.1(1)
[attachmentid=3924] It doesn't run very fast and it requeres a copy of windows3.1(1), but it works |
