Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong topic. I am now running Win XP and I have the game 'World Superbikes' which is only for Win 95/98 is there any way I can install this on XP with a patch or something? hope someone can help?

I get the error message 'Won't run on NT'

Thanks

Mike

I have a game that does the same thing...Original Risk. All I did was set the compatability to windows 95/98 on the setup.exe on the CD-Rom.

You right click on your CD-Rom and choose explore to get to the root level of the CD, then right clickon setup.exe and choose properties. In there you'll see a tab that says compatability where you can set that.

There may be some files after the install you may have to do the same thing do, I did not have to do anything else after the install.

Run the actual game executable in Win98 Compatibility mode. That should work since doing the same thing allowed it to install...
