playing a windows 95 game on xp
hi, i'm new to this site.
i found risk, an old pc game and when i try to install it it won't let me because it's a windows 95 game. Would anyone be able to help me get round this? my knowledge of computers really isnt good.
Thanks very much

Hello himalaya :wave:
You should be able to actually install any game on your computer. The main problem with older games is that they are not compatible with new operating systems. To get around this you simply right click on the game, select properties, then select compatibility. Frome there just select (in your case) 'Run this program in compatibility mode for windows 95'
If you can't even install the game in the first place, my guess would be a problem with the game :?
