    In the compatibility section make sure you turn off visual themes this normally helped with my old games, then failing that just select each option one by one!

    eventually its got to work :-)

    there are some programs that run in the background to slow your pc down to enable these old games to run. I don't know much about it -can't really remember, except I used to use "moslow" i think. A google search should turn up some sites that have free utility progs to download to run these.
