Getting Win95/98 to speak to Win2000

oshie

I'm sorry if someone else has posted a question like this. I have Win 2000 Pro on my machine, and when I go to LAN matches at my friend's place, the people with Win 95/98 either get prompted for a password when they look at my computer under Network Neighborhood or get told that it is an invalid network resource.

All Might & Magic games (including Heroes)

Liriel_nmf

I recently (2 months ago) purchased a new computer and it came with Windows XP. Now when I try to install my MM VI, VII, or VIII or Heroes III, I supposedly fail some of the requirements. Here's exactly how it comes up for MM VIII, and I get pretty much the same things for all the rest of the games.

Athlon XP vs Athlon 64

jwl812

I consider myself a fairly educated computer geek. But when it comes down to these new processor speed designations i'm lost. For example, the Athlon XP 3200+. The name implies its basically a 3. 2 Ghz proc.
