Open GL is supported through video card drivers, not the OS. Some Windows XP drivers do support this feature, but some don't. If yours doesn't, located the latest Windows 2000 driver for your card and install it. Quake 3 Arena and your other Open GL favorites should work once again.

Definitely go for Windows XP for the simple reason that it is designed for both the business & consumer thus is more adept at games playing.

Sinistar and Arch Rivals used a unique 49-way joystick and can't be played with this setup. The joystick used a 49-way optical joystick and a unique "centering spider" which placed increasing tension on the stick the further it was moved from center. More information and reproduction spiders are available here. Also, OSCAR found the following fix on Retrogames which allows keyboard encoders to work better with these games.

Most programs that work on Windows 95/98/Me and NT will work on versions of Windows XP. As with Windows 2000, several compatibility updates are sure to made after the product is released. There will be problems running older DOS programs (if they will run at all).

First, make sure your drive is a DVD-ROM. Next, you need a DVD decoder software. Unfortunately, there are some licenses required to play a DVD movie which comes with DVD player software so most of them require purchases. There is one free open-source alternative to play DVDs VLC.

Unfortunately the QUANTUM® XL-5000 RAM memory is limited. So it is only able to pull up design cards that are approximately 7 pages.

It's not easy, because they're designed to run in DOS and Windows XP doesn't support that. There is one emulator that gives it a shot at it though, and details of that can be found here... Always look for a text document in the game's main directory once installed. Everything you need to know is in there - and you may even find an additional document that explains the intricacies of deeper concepts...

This problem is solved in recent Cygwin/X releases. Use cygwin setup to upgrade the xorg-x11-xwin package. The older X11 releases on the various commercial unices define the AltGr key as ModeSwitch, MetaR, AltR or similar. Cygwin/X expects it to be ISO_Level3_Switch.

Yes - the calculators work with XP SP2, just like they worked with XP SP1. The only difference is a small security message that appears if you install Java using their automatic installation routine (available at www.java.com). In the previous version of Windows XP, Java would install without any special prompting. In XP SP2, you need to click "download" from the security message that appears.

To fix this you need to configure Windows firewall to allow ports 6970 through 6979 UDP protocol through the firewall. To open the ports see the section "example of unblocking an application" in Technote 1003 but instead of adding an application add a port and start with port 6970 protocol UDP. You will have to add 10 port exceptions although adding 3 or four often works.

CPC software runs in the Command window of Windows NT, XP, and Win2000. This Command window (often referred to as a DOS window) is, by default, setup with "QuickEdit Mode" selected. This prevents the mouse from selecting items in any DOS application screen. You will need to turn off QuickEdit Mode to get normal use of the mouse. If you find that you cannot use your mouse to select screen items, the fix is simple.

Symptoms: Internet Explorer no longer allows a right-click to open a new window. LiveUpdate no longer functions correctly. The error "Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub" is received.

Welderqual is a full 32-bit application, so it will work quite happily on Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP.

Your touch-enabled mouse will work with Windows XP provided that you have downloaded an XP compatible hardware driver from your hardware manufacturer. For a Logitech iFeel mouse, for example, you would download the XP-compatible MouseWare® software from Logitech's website. The latest version of MouseWare (supporting Windows XP and below) can be found Logitech's web site.

XP has a "lock taskbar" feature set by default. Right click on your taskbar and uncheck Lock taskbar. Then you can drag DQSD all you need and you can disable showing the name (search), etc... When you get it like you want it, you can lock the taskbar again.

Probably not. But AV vendors are beginning to release Windows XP-compatible products, such as Norton Anti-Virus 2002. Other Windows 9x products that you shouldn't use in Windows XP include disk utilities and other low-level system utilities.

I would try the compatibility wizard. Go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Program Compatibility Wizard. Then follow the prompts. I have not tried this myself since I am not running any games on XP, but my local computer shop tells me that that's all there is to it. Also feel free to post any further questions on this subject here: http://pub131.ezboard.com/fjpspanzersfrm10 I recently installed People's General on a new Compaq computer running Windows XP.

Features such as System Restore, Image acquisition and more. Most of the new multimedia features in Windows Me will be carried over to Windows XP.

These operating systems do not have native Japanese language support, like Windows 2000 and XP have. There are some games that simply will never work without native Japanese language support. Some games will run with the use of third-party programs that enable Japanese characters on Windows 98/Me, such as NJStar Communicator or AsianSuite. There may be other Japanese language programs that I'm not aware of, head over to Google and do a search for Japanese language support programs for 98/Me.

Official Answer: Windows .NET does not support game applications. Many of the functions needed to play games are either disabled or not present at all. Enabling this functionality is an unsupported configuration. Simply said: don't play games on Windows .NET. Period. Unofficial Answer: Many games work well with .NET Server, but require special steps be taken to ensure adequate gameplay. You must enable graphics acceleration, enable DirectX, and enable the Windows Audio service.

Populous was made before XP, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. Make sure you have the latest patches downloaded, and change the compatibility for the two Populous .exe files to Windows 98. Doing a full install is recommended. If this still doesnt work try downloading the patch in the utilities section. Put the files in the directory where your populous executable is located. Again you will need a "complete" installation of Populous.
