Hello,
I'm trying to play Need for Speed (the first one), I loved it when it first came out, and I've had the CD forever. However, it doesn't work with XP. Are there any programs out there that will emulate the Win95 environment so I can try playing my game? Or would anyone know a way to get a 95 game to work in XP?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I miss this game so :(


;)

NFS works with Win98 too.

XP can emulate Win95 and Win98, so you can try both and see which one work well.

Create drag an Icon for NFS on the Desktop.

Right click on the Icon / click on properties.

Choose the compatibility tab, check Run this Program in Comp.....

Pull down the menu and choose you compatibility...

Ive tried this with some old Win95 apps and it didn't work for any. :( good luck for your game though.
