Hi guys, Ive got a couple of old classic games from Maxxis, Im sure you all remember SimTower and SimCity 2000 , well I got a itch to play them but not sure what to do to get em to run on XP.

If right-clicking the shortcut and running it in "compatibility mode" doesn't help, go Google for a freeware app called "DosBOX". It will make your world much easier

If they are windows games, then running in compatibility mode (2k or 98, etc) should work.

If they are dos games - http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/ download dfend, which is just dosbox with a nice front end. Install it, and then put the games in c:/program files/dfend/virtual harddrive/ (Which becomes c: when you start dosbox via dfend.)

Those both work on xp. I think I did use the compatibility wizard.

I found a copy of VMware and got it running on WIndows 98 through that, but I think I discovered my whole problem was the CD I originally had was no good because I still couldnt install it to 98 off that CD, I ended up finding a free copy online that worked, so I may give it another go getting it to work on XP.
