First try the games.

If no work then come back.

XP's compatibility with 95/98/ME games is pretty damn good. The assistant is located in the Accessories section of the start menu. However, first try the games normally without fiddling, most of them work fine.

I have already tried the games (Baphomet 1+2 and Galador) and they didn´t run at all.
Which start menue do you mean pmistry ? (Sorry, but English is a foreign language for me...)

In WinXP, click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, and then Program Compatibility Wizard.

If no luck, then use the help system and search for "compatibility."

I am also interested in playing old games.The Comp. Wiz guides me to the Control Panel,then seems to say that the operating system name must be changed from Windows XP Home Edition/fast detect,to WINDOWS 95.Is that right,or what.Plus indicates a time frame for starting up with Windows 95.Did I miss something.I don't want to try this until I am sure.
