My wife noticed some of the new games in Vista,
and asked me if she could play them on her XP rig.

I tried to just copy them, via an USB stick, into her HD.



When i tried to start any of the .EXE's from her XP,
I was told the file was not a valid Win32 executable....

Have anyone else tried something like this, and can tell
me how to "fix" it, besides installing Vista on her computer ?

The official answer is... No, you can not play those games under XP.

These games are specifically designed for Vista's environment. The only
way she will be able to play the games is to install Vista on that
computer.

You can. Most of Vista`s games were ported to Windows XP by Rafael from
AeroXP`s forum.
