    Any way to get a widows 98 or windows xp game to run on vista?
    I have a PC game that came out in 1998. I love it but it won't run on my new computer which runs Vista. Is there anything I can do, or any software I can load, that will allow it to run on my Vista machine?

    Basically those old PC games are now just handy coasters and nothing more as they were run on much slower systems. Unless you can slow down your Vista system you won't be able to play it.
