| #2 Posted on 19.1.11 2248.19 Reposted on: 19.1.18 2249.10 | we poked around trying to get an old game for windows 95 working over Christmas called Mixed up mother goose.
I gave up and googled it and it was online. my daughter happily played it (reliving her fairly recent youth) for the rest of the day.
so, maybe try that. (ah, maybe not - both games seem to still being sold on Amazon) | CRZ

Here's a guy who's devoted his life to running "legacy" stuff on XP hardware:

http://home.earthlink.net/~infernofilecabinet1/XpSetUpWalkthroughsA_E/11thHr_Setup.htm
If he REALLY wanted to run this stuff, he'd keep a spare PC at Win98, but what's the challenge in that, right?
DISCLAIMER: I personally only know Mac stuff, but I DO know how to Google.
