CONS:\n\nWindows Vista is massively bloated. the install requires ~6+ Gigs, (nearly 3 times the size of an average XP installation.) Upon installing it, i was unable to run Rise of Nations, a Microsoft game. It is the pinnacle of bloatware (software that has been really increased in size with few new features. \n\nWith this bloating, it will require an extremely powerful machine, and will consume a large amount of your Ram (I had 1 GB and it was really consuming it.\n\nVery limited out of the box hardware support. XP has much better support for sound cards and modems. Also, some of your driver discs will not work under vista, and you will need to wait (hope) that your hardware manufacturer makes new drivers for vista.\n\nPRO(s):\n\nIt looks really pretty. This same affect can be gotten for your XP (free) by searching yahoo for "Vista Inspirat pack." Which makes your XP look like vista.

If there are no XP specific drivers, the drivers for Windows 2000 should work fine. Give it a try, any way.

The card probably just needs drivers that aren't included with XP.  Just run the CD which came with the card, or download the driver installation files from the manufacturer and run that...

This program almost certainly will not work at all on XP.  You could try, after installing, right clicking on the .exe file, the one that initiates the program, and choosing Properties, Compatibility, checking Run this Program....and choosing Windows 95.  But in my experience, this only sometimes works.\n\nIt should not however slow your computer or harm it, if it even in fact installs.  And you can always uninstall it.  My advice, if you are going to install it, is to set a Restore Point in System Restore just before you install it, so that you can easily return to your previous state if things don't work out.\n\nBut also, I would advise you to find a different program that does the stuff that you want this old program to do, even if the more modern program does more than you want.....

Maybe the games you have are too old for the computer you have? You need to check whether the games you have are compatibility with your new system.\n\nOld games were not necessarily made for the specs of newer computers, therefore the games might not function properly.\n\nDo you use Windows XP? Have you tried Program Compatibility Wizard?\n\nStarts the Program Compatibility Wizard, which helps you configure older programs to run on Windows XP\n\nKeep the computer you have! Get a old computer for use with your older games.

Do you mean the game is not running or XP is not running? if the game , uninstall it and see if XP boots normally.  If XP you may have to go back to system restore or do a repair install.

It's not bs, a lot of games written for windows98 wont work on xp. Black and white works because it was made after xp came out, well after, and designed to work with it. From what I could gather the 1.03 patch here: http://www.populousrevolution.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/downloads/patches.html\nWill allow it to run on XP. Supposedly.

Hello,\n\nTo fix the problem use Microsoft's Java VM (which is faster then Sun's anyway). To enable Microsoft's VM do the following.\n\nClick Start > Set Program Access and Defaults \n\nClick the Custom Bullet > Scroll down until you see "Choose a default java machine for java" and select Microsoft Virtual Machine. \n\nClick Ok.\n\nThat's it, you'll now be able to play Yahoo! games again. \n\nThanks,\n\nV

if it is an installed game try installing it again, and if that doesn't work contact the help people from the game's manufactures.

There could be anti-piracy coding on it so you can't copy it (I know you weren't about to do that, now, were you?).  When you try to play it on PC, it simply tells the programs to not function properly.

Type TRACERT address  at the DOS prompt.  I have XP here and it works fine.\n\nPS- Anybody that might run TRACERT needs to have a shortcut on the desktop to CMD.

Right click on the program and then go to Properties. Then there is a compatiblity tab. Just choose the option to Run this Program in Windows XP mode.\n\nCheck if you have XP cuz I think most Sonys come with XP now. Go to Control Panel, then Systems, and check in the general tab to see what version of windows you have.
