I have tried the Application Compatiblity Thing from the W2K CD but it doesn't work. Any ideas? I seriously do NOT want to go back to Win98.

Well, if those games have 98/95 & NT4.0 compatability, they should run. If they're dos-based, you may not be able to. Ive seen stuff about getting dos games to run under Win2k...but I havent tried them. If you're feeling daring, you could do a dual boot, but both 2k and 98 have to be formatted to FAT32.
Your games may just not work no matter what, in that case, see if there's a patch for those games. You may have to just ditch those games or go back.
Are you using the program Bleem? Its a program that allows you to run Playstation games under windows, and I think theres some program, maybe a Sega version of Bleem, that does that. If you are doing that bleem might not be usable under 2k.

Tha games are not dos games they are for Windows 95. So there's one blow out anyway,
Now here's one workaround for those in trtouble!! I installed house of the dead on Win 98, then found all references to it from the regestry (only one little bit). Copied the directory and all shortcuts over to a separate HD I have in the system, applied the reg settings in W2K, and installed all the program files to the priganl directory speicifed in the reg file.
Copied the shortcuts over to the start menu, and Tried it.
Well f**k me if it only worked!!! I was playing the damn thing for 2 hours and not a problem!! If I still try to insatll the game It comes up the error Support for Nt not avalible at this time, but I can play it!!
I haven't tried it for the other two games yet but fingers crossed I might get them working the same way. I applied the compatiblity patch from old Microsoft, and it still didn't work. I am wondering why it didn't? But what matters is that is the game is working under W2K.
Also Monkey Island 3 works thanks to the Febuary update that Microsoft put on their website, so you don't need to copy all 2 CDS over to the HD any more!!!
