Win 95 games on W2K
This is a discussion about Win 95 games on W2K in the Windows Games category; I heard that there is a utility that can make games think they are running on Win 95/98 when they are actually running on Win 2000. Is there such a utility? If so, where can I get it? Thanks.

You heard right, there is such an utility. You can get it from your W2k CD. Just look for "Apcompat.exe". If it works, well, that´s another story coming soon here live on NT Compatible!
In general, if the game uses directX and is a recent release, then it should in most cases run under Win 2K. To check this out before you buy, see the game compatability page on this site.
If the game runs under dos - it might work under Win 2K, but you will loose the sound. There is a utility that allows the sound to work under Win 2K - Sound FX 2000, (if you do a forum search you should be able to find where to download it). The only other problem you might have with these games is a restriction upon the screen modes you can select - usually 320 * 200 * 8 I believe.
