Thanks for the advice. Can suggest a way that Red Alert and Quake 2 can be tricked into installing under XP ? As I mentioned before both are supposedly meant for W95 (and RA for NT as well) yet RA does run under W98. That would be much more preferable to installing a second OS. Could the Program Compatibility Wizard be of any use ? -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
