Customer Review: Running game on xp
To all those who love the game but cannot get it to run on win xp…

Don’t despair!

Thanks to Donna who worked this out:

“Here’s what worked for me. I went into the cd folder and found
the INST16.exe file. I left clicked on it and selected properties. Then, I clicked on the compatibility tab. I
checked the following boxes: Run this program in compatibility mode for, Windows 95, Run in 256 colors. The
rest should be unchecked.
Now, after it installs, the icon on the desktop (or under Start, Programs) should be set as above except ALL the
boxes should be checked. WOOHOO!!!! Have fun!”
