<div class="IPBDescription">Malkari</div> OK, I got an AWSOME game, all be it a bit old, called Malkari... and I can ONLY get it to work on my grandparnets old Windows 98 computer... XP just won't run it... even in compatability...

IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS... PLEASE TELL ME

It's Manufacture is I-Magic ... and unfortunately they seem to no longer exist... their website is dead... and their phone number doesnt' seem to exist any more... *crys* I love this game... I just wanna play it on a machine that can run it a bit better...

Only thing I can think of is to bring one of my XP computers back to 98... *shudder* and I dunno how to un-install XP... *crys*

    install both XP and 98 on your computer.
    I have win98 and linux installed, and a menu asks me which OS I want when I boot the computer (and after 10 seconds it boots win).

    Simple. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    create a small partition on your hard drive and install win 98 on it, then you'll have a dual boot system where you choose to run win98 or xp at startup. I had it myself and it works great, but splitting a 20gb hard drive up leads to problems in having enough room for everything, since each drive with an OS needs some free space on it to run well.

    EDIT: Firestorm beat me to it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You will probably ave to do what they said up above b/c I looked around and usualy fan sites of old games will usualy crack or mod a game so that old games can be run on newer OSs. such as X-COM for example.


    I could not find anything of that sort for your game. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
