I have a few old 95/98 games that I am not ready to give up. They wouldn't play on my 2000 PC but will on my XP PC. Does anyone know how to configure 2000 to play the older games? I heard there was.

Well, i dunno if it will work, but there is a compablity update for 2000, with that u can simulate ex. 98, i dont know if the games will work..but its worth a try i guess, download this and apply the compability update www.bigfix.com, install it on the 2000 comp and subcribe to the 2000 site and the compability thing should appear, install it and run the game. hope it works :)
