C Chris H. Aug 20, 2003 #2 You mean like Win9x games, Buzz? You (1) need to make sure they are in a proper account to use the games and (2) probably need to use Compatibility Mode. There are details on user accounts here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307091 and the Compatibility issues are discussed here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...et/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/lgcyapps.asp If you have any problems, please post back and give details of which game is involved.
