Title: Can any people knowledable in computers help me out?
Post by: Teddy Roosevelt on May 17, 2007, 12:03:22 AM
I'm trying to install this old game on Windows XP (it was designed for Windows 95), but every time I click on the install button this message pops up:

Anyone know what it means and what I can do to solve this problem? I tried it on my friends computer a while back and there wasn't any problems. Either option closes the progam entirely.

sounds like it's not compatible... does XP still handle dos?

what game is it?

if its not something that requires alot of resources (running win95, im guessing not..) you could get a copy of vmware workstation, install windows 95 on that virtual machine, then install your game in vmware

Your best bet would be smashing the screen in with a sledgehammer.
