Default games

To put it bluntly, you don't. For that matter, certain
games made for xp won't work well with certain video
card/sound card combinations. You have to hunt down the
latest drivers for such and pray. Sometimes the latest
drivers aren't even the answer. Point in case: I bought
Links 2003 when it first came out last year & had to
download the patch from Microsoft before it would even run
at all. Anyways, I then downloaded the latest video driver
from nvidia for my card and the game began freezing up, so
I had to roll back the driver for the game to run..LOL..Xp
doesn't even give you the option of removing the driver,
when you remove it and reboot, Xp simply installs the
driver right over again without letting you pick what you
want like Win 98 did. They call this progress?????
