I am having problems installing some older games (win 95/98) on a one year
old machine (P4 2.66, 1 GB ram, 40GB hd) running xp pro sp2. I have no
trouble loading onto an older (3years+) machine (700mz celeron, 256 MB ram,
10 GB hd) that is also running xp pro sp2.
When I click on 'install' nothing happens. Same when I click on
'setup.exe'. The computer does not freeze, it simply does not load the
installer.
My newer machine is using NTFS as the file system vs. FAT 32 on the older
one. Could this be the cause of the problem? If so, is there a different
installer I should be using? Any other ideas as to what could be the problem?
Also, i have tried setting xp to treat the set up as a win98 program with no
luck
