Do you know how to get the old LucasArts Star Wars flight sims to work on Win2000? I cannot install them. The setup program just won't start. I'm pretty sure it's the OS that's causing this trouble, as under Win98SE they worked perfectly.

They were released pre-windows 2000, and will not work on that O/S They will work under XP however, as XP has backwards compatibility for windows 98/95 (sometimes).

^^^^^ Alliance is not a DOS game. Windows 2000 is designed for business computers. You will always run into these kind of problems if you want to play games.

Dosbox runs pretty much ANY old game, be it DOS, Win 3.1, or Win 95. You can play any game on Win 2000 that you want with the right software. Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

I guess so, It's just always been my pet hate really! if your a home user or use it for games, get xp and leave 2k for the business users. Still, hope they get it working!

I tried DosBox, but it won't help because the problem is with the installer, which requires Windows. Maybe I should go for XP one day, but I hate the fuss that comes with changing the OS.
