windows XP help?

Question

is there anyway to run a program desgined for windows 95 on Windows XP?

well to be honest its actually a game called "Chess mates"

when i try to run it on anything it says "The procedure point SUnMapLs_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." with an ok button.

Answer 1

Maybe!! ...Try: Start> Programs> Accessories>> Program Compatibility Wizard... This program was made for the situation youre asking about. Just follow the prompts, Ive had very good luck running older programs on XP using this...try it...hope this helps.

Answer 2

It really does depend on the program. Most Win 95 programs will run quite nicely on Windows XP without issues... but if it doesn't for whatever reason, you can run the program in Xp's compatibility mode.

Before you install and/or run it by itself, right click on the .exe and select "properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 95. Then, you're done.

Answer 3

Yes! Right click the application's icon and select 'properties'.
Select the compatibilty tab.
Check the box that says 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select Windows 95. Then hit okay.

That should do it. You may have to be logged into the Administrator's account to do it.

Answer 4

Maybe. Just try it as-is and it might work. You can also right click on the executable (start up) file for your program and then click 'properties'. Click on the 'compatibility' tab then check the top box and pick 'Windows 95' mode.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes , right click on the icon then property then compatibility then put a check on the little box and chose 95 then apply.

Answer 6

that depends on what the program is......need more info......but........im sure if 95 can run it .....xp should be able to ace it......
