I have a new P4 2.4 w/ 512M Ram, 128M TI4200, 60GB HD and XP home.  Janes F/A-18 will not run.  I am unable to locate any patches for F/a-18 and do not know how to make it work.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Just run it under Windows 98 or Windows 2000 compatability mode. ;)

Lurch,
Thanks for the insight but I don't quite get it.  My machine has q new Harddrive with a clean copy of XP home.  I can't seem to find the compatibility mode feature.  When I go to system, startup features, edit, the only operating system option at startup is XP.  Thats the only system I installed on the hard drive.

Am I missing something easy here? Does XP have a built in emulator and if so how do I get to it?

I really do not want to reformat the HD and make 2 volumes to install a dual operating system.  If the dual system is the only way to do this I would rather buy another HD and format that with DOS & Win98 and have a multiple boot system.

Thanks for your patience.

Oh, I logged in as Luscombe1 when I wrote the thread.

Luscombe,

All you need to do to get to the compatability wizard is right click on the icon for the program and you'll see a COMPATABILITY section.Go there and check the box that says RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATABILITY MODE FOR ,and then select the operating system you want to run it as.
