Thats the only way I know how to do it. Another possible choice is to partition your hard drive and run whichever OS that game needs on that partition.

OS stands for operating system. So I would guess that game needs either Win 95 or Win 98.
To partition means to split your hard drive up into smaller pieces.

You would need a program like Partition Magic. You would be able to put your hard drive back to one piece by deleting the partition. Yes it can be done in under 3 hours.
One thing though, to make it work you are going to have to have the other Operating System to install on the partition.
It might be easier in the long run to find a different game to play.

Hello, I posted in the game forum list as well, but I have read through everything possible on the internet and have not found out why the game is telling me from the start that it will not install on xp
 
I am running:
xp pro w/ sp2
2.6 ghz w/ 1.5 gig ram/ p4 processor
nvidia mx440 w/ sb live card
 
when i click install it prompts me with: "this product will not run on your operating system...please contact activision..."
 
does anyone know how to install it? if I could get that done i'm sure i could figure out the patches...thanks,
 
Cole

do you or your friend have a firewall for internet? sounds like some ports need to be openned.
 
also, I noticed that some times the joining party does not see the game host. When this happens the joining party has to exit out to the main menu, and chooes melee and join again.
 
let me know if you want to hook up for some internet play.
