![]() Ok the other day I was digging thru my closet and I found a box with a lot of old games in it. I saw that Simtower was there and was like...Wow havent played that in awhile. So I downloaded onto my pc and it downloaded fine, However when I go to play it, it doesnt work. I have Windows 2000 Professional edition, with all the latest updates from Microsoft. but the game doesnt play, and Im confused because I think it would play better on here than it would on XP because w2000 is still based off of the older windows, while XP is a new one, but nobdy seems to have problems with it on xp. So is there a special place I need to install it on w2000Pe to get it to work, or is there something I need to turn off to allow it to run? I turn off my Avast and close all the stuff like Create a cd and Direct CD and Quicktime, but it still doesnt play. Or should I just try to find an older Pc with windows 98 on it and use that for a gaming pc? Also I cant get Dirt Track Racing to play either, The sprint car one works but not the regular version. If anyone can help with that I would appricate it too.
Thanks |

![]() Well, actually Windows ME is based off the 9x series. Windows 2000 and XP are both using NT core.
Personally, I suggest you either buy an old machine and set up Windows 95 or 98 on it or simply buy an additional hard drive. By disconnecting all the other hard drives and installing W98SE on the new one, you can change your Win2K machine into a perfect Win98 one. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I have done with my WinXP computer. |

![]() OK, I'm splitting these posts off to a separate thread in Troubleshooting. Will be better off there.
Ouch. This thread was supposed to land in Troubleshooting, not in Translation stuff. Anyway, I am quite uncertain if Windows 98 would boot from an external drive. What you could alternatively do is buy a 40-gig HDD (or 80-gig one, depending what HDD sizes your motherboard accepts) and simply install it on the secondary IDE channel along with your optical drive. Then you can control which HDD boots through the BIOS, which is actually even more convenient. Also, what file system your W2K harddrive is using? FAT-32 or NTFS? |
