I tried the same thing and got a real distorted screen. I tried the compatability mode stuff and that didn't work either. I read on another forum that the only way to get it to work properly was to either boot in DOS mode (yeah right, as if that's feasible these days) or to create a dual boot PC. If you don't want to wipe your PC and go through the whole XP activation thing, you might consider purchasing Partition Magic and create a 1 gig partition. Install Windows 95 or 98 there

-- and copy the DOS links files to your drive. (Or install the full game and courses) They claim this will work -- but I've not tried it yet. Guy who wrote the message was a Links guru (all versions and OSs) So I trust him. GOOD LUCK!

Don't know if this will help. I have WinXP here. Can you send me the game and I'll try to get it to work?!?

Duritz,

Ok, just spoke to my hardware guy here. He says that if you right click on the app, go to properties, click on the compatibility tab then chose run as 95 or 98, that may work. He said that if it does work, it will not run very well because the program was made to run on Win 95.

No need for Karma! I don't think it will help, but anyway it was my pleasure!!

Good luck!
