I was intending to do that with the win95 version on an XP computer, but
when I tried to install the game it wouldn't install. I just got a
message box to say that the programme is for win95 only, then the
install programme closed when I clicked on it.

and your point ?

i posted at the bottom, i just forgot to delete my sig from the top
the only thing i am guilty of is not having an email program that will post
SIGs at the bottom
so i gotta manually copy and paste to the bottom
and occasionally forget to delete.

so i am still:

You'd be better off disactivating the automatic signature insertion of
OE and when you are at the point where you want your signature (ie when
you have finished your reply) use the menu Insert. That way you won't
forget and though you still have a click or two to do, it isn't much
different from cut and paste.

You might care for the same reason as you'd care if you were playing your
music loud enough to piss off the people next door... ah, I see where this
analogy is going to break down.

well i didnt really mean it in a rude way
just that someone started the cross post into my group
and i was responding to the question
so why would i care if it got cross posted back

especially since UK.misc. is where all the posters (except me) are from
or at. or in. whatever
i just asked a question relevant to C&C

oh, sure. i am computer illiterate, but i do know some things. i often cross
post into other C&C groups. and by leaving the newsgroups listed at the top
of my message alone, i cross post into the UK.misc. And i do that only so
you can read my message(s) since i assume you dont read

Have you tried right clicking on its start icon and changing it's start
properties into Win95 compatibility mode - it's worked like a charm for
several of my older games.

Why don't you just have a duel boot system, have XP as the main O/S and say
Windows ME or Windows 98 as a second bootable partition, you can use
Partition Magic to set this up, great for playing old games that XP won't
play,
