Hey thre all...

I am looking at buying this old game off of Ebay for my brother...its a classic.

The ad says that the program works with (Win95/98/ME/XP.

Does this mean it won't work with Windows 2000 Professional?

Seems like an odd question, but I need to know!

Thanks in advance

I believe if it works with XP it will work with Windows 2000 Professional. Could be wrong though.

barilko6, A lot of games will not work in W2k...If the softare doesn't specify it, it means there is no support for it and/or if it works it will have some bugs.

If you have problems, try changing the compatability mode for the program (right click on the shortcut, Properties, Compatability tab, change the mode to the version of Windows you know it should run in).

Perm Dude, If I am not mistaken, W2k doesn't have program compatibility like xp does.
