Old game

[michael555]

Hello i have install a old game called the neverhood.

This game was for windows 95/98 only(Not sure about windows me).

Game install fine but it will not save at all on windows xp.

The game save is,nt in a folder but the registry.

Is the windows xp registry diff than windows 95/98. Try every where for a patch can,t find one. Think the company behind this game gone bust.


Any help?

Thanks

Can you not set it up in system properties to run in 95/98 mode??

Did you run the game in compatibility mode to get it to work?

I fancy buying some old games for when i get my pc up and running (will be using xp), just wondering how this compatibility mode works,... thanks!

Sometimes it does ... sometimes it doesn't.

How do you put your pc into "98 mode" though?

I havent owned an xp computer before.... the family pc uses 2000, so im new to it.
