Tiger Woods 2001

Lothario
Has anyone here installed TW2001? When I try to install it I get the error message TW2001 does not currently run in Windows NT. I've tried QFixApp with Win95VersionLie but that did not work. Has anyone else had any success? Thanks for your help.

Tiberian Sun

FulcrumX
Tiberian Sun doesn't work here. I have Windows NT and all the requirements for the game (unless a 4 speed CD ROM drive isn't enough). I try to install it and before it even gets to Setup it says This is compatible with Windows 95/98 and NT.

What's the deal here ?? ..

OriginalShadow
What's the deal with W2K and all these people who cannot install or play so many different games?? I have NEVER had a problem with ANY game that I have tried under W2K on my PC. I have only ever witnessed NFS5 not working on my dad's setup (works on mine).

Civ Call To Power NT 4

Gregory508
Does anyone know how, if you can, set Windows NT4 to manage the virtual memory? Activision, the maker of the game told me the reason I keep getting the error message saying that my system is running low on virtual memory, is because I need to let NT manage my virtual memory.

Fallout vs. W2K

Operator
Well, 6 months ago I bought W2K and everything was fine until I tried to install Fallout 1 yesterday. It refused to work and even the methods shown on NT Compatible did not help me at all (-> copy all data to HD and install it manually).
