Windows XP question
Is there a way I can emulate Win98? I'm trying to run an old game, and it ain't gonna work unless I'm using 95/98. I know there's a simple way to do this, but for the life of me I can't remember how...

3. Right click on the game's executable file (i.e. "DOOM.EXE")
Open "properties" and click on the "compatibility" tab.

4. Thanks all!
It didn't work, but at least I know what to do in the future to get other classics to work.

Now where did I put that copy of X-Com: UFO Defense...?
