I occasionally like to dig out older games to play a while. I recently took out the original Heros of Might and Magic and found I could not install it becasue it needs Windows 95 and I am running xp Pro. I do not want to partition my hard drive to have 2 platforms. Anyone know another way to get it to run on xp Pro? I know you are thinking why do you want to play something that old!

Been a while since I installed an older game, but have you tried inserting the CD, hunting down the install.exe file on the CD, then right-clicking said file and checking off the option to run it in Win95 mode?
 
S'cuse me older and somewhat muddled mind, but I'm sure this worked for me before, if my memory serves me correctly.
