| | Re: installing old games on windows vista? A lot of XP games work great with Vista. If not, you can try Compatibility mode, or run it as administrator. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.VistaRIP.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "pavilion_alex" <pavilionalex@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E76BA0B4-1A05-44E2-9661-01ED3B07E100@xxxxxx Quote: >i have windows vista home premuim, and i want to know, if a game says >install > only on windows xp can i install it on vista without having problems to > install it or play it? |
