Vista games to XP?

Hi: Hope somebody can enlighten me. My question is: If I copy Chess
Titans from my Vista machine can I install it on my XP machine, and make it
work? I just copied it to my desk top and It will not work. error says it
is not a valid win 32 app. Is there a way to make it work? If so How? I
am technically challenged you see.

RE: Vista games to XP?

The application is coded as a Vista only workable game.

You cannot copy the files over. If you do and try to run the application, it
will tell you the program is not designed for that type of Windows. If you
are wanting to get into chess on Windows XP , I recommend going to
www.direct2drive.com and purchasing a copy of Chessmaster 9000 which only
costs $9.99

Worth every penny.

Not with the lame DRM D2D uses it isn't. You can get this game in the
Walmart bargain bins for about the same price. I believe Chessmaster 10000
is the latest version. There are also free chess programs you can download,
like Pawnchess.
