i have a 3.5 floppy disk sample test that comes with my
examination book, but it says that i can only run it
through Windows 95. I know XP has the ability to choose
older program that can run this. But when i try to
install the disk, it freezes and stops at FOXW2600.ESL
(SUPPORT FILE). i dont know what that is but it never
complete its installation. pls help! examination is
coming pretty soon.. thanks!

Use compatibility mode for the installation program to see if it
will run.

I have seen floppy disks that worked fine, put away for 2-3 years. When you
try to access them it is a "no go"! Those floppies are not reliable. That is
why you always had to make disk copies of them. If you had 3 copies of
something important, when you needed to access the information, usually 1
would work.

Go here: http://kadaitcha.ath.cx/articles/compatibility.aspx

And tell whoever gave you the disk to get into the 21st century with the
rest of us.
