I'm sure this question has been asked before. However, is there a way
to get
older Windows 95, 98 and/or XP programs to run on a Vista computer? I
can't even get them to load.


Right Click the EXE, Run As Admin, and set compatibility to Win98.
For DOS games, you should use DOSBox.
When all else failed, use VMWare or Virtual PC.


Name the game you're trying to run, maybe we can give you specific
instructions for the game.
