I finally got my copy of Windows 2000 and got it installed at home. I love it! Everything went so well and the computer is booking now! Even my online is working better and faster. Problem though. My kids games aren't working at all. Simple stuff like Babyz won't come up at all (although they installed). Did I just fix the home computer where no one can use it? Is there anything I can do to make programs work? HELP! My daughter is going to kill me!

Probably, the games are not compatible with W2K. Check with the manufacturers if there are any updates for W2K version.

This may or may not help your compatibility problem with the games but it can not hurt to try.

select run from your start menu and put the following in:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\appPatch\slayerui.dll

click Ok.

This will add a compatibility tab to you properties provided you have installed SP2.
Right click on the shortcut for the game....select Properties and you should see a Compatibility tab. One of the options is Windows95 compatibility.

Give it a go...may solve your problem.
