Installing 95/98 games with compatibility update

a10thunder

I'm sure this forum has talked about using the Application Compatibility Update to trick the software into thinking that Win2k is either 95, 98 or NT. However, I installed the lastest compatibility update, but can't do what the Win2k FAQ talked about.

Sound Blaster Live! & Games

EnforcerX

I'm new at Win2K & I say it rocks. My only problem is EAX in games. For some reason games sound weird in Win2K, in WinME I could hear the voices in the game Alice & when I shot the shock rifle in Unreal Tournament.

Need for Speed games

compgeek45

Two questions. #1, is there anyway to get Need for Speed SE working on Win2k? I seriously doubt it, but thought I'd ask. #2, Need for Speed II does something that's very, very strange and very maddening.

Unreal Tournament in Win2k

smokinkane

I was just wondering if anybody else was having a problem like the one I am having with Unreal Tournament in Win2k. It seems to lock up periodically while in game play, sometimes shortly after I started playing, and sometimes after several matches.

Nothing but problems since SP2

Mike Zamarocy

Now I don't know if it matters or not - or if there is a difference, but I am using that SP2 that was available just before MS had theirs on their website, its the one that was mentioned here earlier.
