Half-Life Compatibility Issue

mac_attack
I installed the original game of Half-Life onto my WinXP Home Edition computer last night. When I clicked on the link to New Game, nothing happened. It gave me an error message saying that it can't read the CD.

Panzer General 3: Scorched Earth on WinXP

Regis
I'm trying to install PG3:SE, but it isn't working. I tried clicking Install on the autorun menu. I tried using the setup. exe from the CD. The same thing keeps happening. . . the mouse pointer turns into an hourglass for about 2 or 3 seconds, and that's it.

Revenant on XP, it works but way too fast !!!

Painsoul
I put off the speed lemiet in options because the game stops every 10 secondes. That very sucky But now the game goes way to fast!!! How can I solve this problem? I thought on a program for slowing down the game.

Hi. I read what this site has to say about getting ES2 to work under windowsXP, but it wasn't very helpful. If someone has a more detailed discription of what to do that would be great. Thanks. Oh, I have the Microsoft Compatibility Kit too.

DOS Programs Under XP - Won't Stay Maximized!

CKTurbo128
I fixed the DOS sound problem with the VDMSound program, but now, I have another problem. The DOS programs won't stay maxmimized! After starting the program, it runs normally for a second, then it switches back to Windows XP as if I hit Alt+Tab or something (which I didn't at all).
