Software Install problem

[Paul]

I bought an XP PC Thursday and i have a question. I was
installing a few games from my past PC to my new one and
on one i installed before it began installing it said a
NT Service Pack 3 or higher is recommended. Is there a
workaround? or where can i get such a thing? I thought XP
was not affiliated with NT. Please help.

Hi,

WindowsXP is NT5.1, so yes it's affiliated.

Go start/all programs/accessories/program compatibility wizard and try using
this tool for installing and running the older software in compatibility
mode for an older oerating system.
