Compatibility modes

[Benjamin]

Ok so it might sound strange to some people but I like to
play older games on my new computer just for humour and
fun. So I have this game made by acclaim "Constructor" and
I really want to play it but XP wont allow it to run even
in compatibility modes. Is there anything I can do? If the
only option is to boot in 98 or dos can i have some help
in how to make a 98 boot disk or how to navigate to the
game in dos... i have completely forgotten how to use it.

Hi

Have you tried the game's web site to see if there is a patch/update for use
with XP - dependent on how old the game is? XP hasn't got 'pure DOS', but a
command prompt.
