| | Re: How to fix every game not playing error Not just XP. I mean, if it worked with 98, you won't set it to XP, obviously. Now, be sure to download any patch released for the game and run it as administrator. I got Grim Fandango (1998) to work on Vista like that. Just try. |

| | RE: How to fix every game not playing error Cameron, you definitely have my attention! Could you be a little more specific as to where I might find this particular FILE tab that I need to right click? I tried FILE in Poga and on my IE homepage but didn't see a compatibility tab. Thank you...

| | Re: How to fix every game not playing error It's the EXE file for the game, this does not apply to internet based games unless they store the game data on your hard drive, then you'd have to hunt down the programs exe and try it. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.db-pc.com _________________________________________________________________________________ "SandyG" <SandyG@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2C4E96DD-9611-47AD-AE3E-4C0F959B4B33@microsoft.com... > Cameron, you definitely have my attention!
