Help trying to play an old PC game?

Question

Hey, I'm trying to play an old game I lost then re-bought called Red Alert: Command and conquer (the original). But the system it supposedly requires is Windows 98, I have windows XP, so how can I get it to play? or is it a lost cause? (surely there must be some sort of thing to do it).

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure there is a way to get xp to operate in 95/98 mode.
Check the microsoft web site would probably be the best place to start.

Answer 2

back click the game icon go to properties and under the compatibility tab press "run this program in compatibility mobe for" and choose from the list below and choose "windows 98/ windows me"
