J Jimmy S. Aug 29, 2003 #2 Hi Gary, I believe Worms is a DOS game.. When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html . With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two of the best tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm -- Cheers, Jimmy S.
