    Hi

    If XP will not play old games then you may find it hard to get them to play at all, but try rigth clicking the shortcut and choose Properties then the Compatability tab and choose Windows 95 or 98 and see if the game runs.

    What are the games BTW?
    Do they have updates to allow them to run in XP ok?
