Hey,
I'm really glad I came across this forum, since I've been trying like crazy to get my old copy of Mechwarrior 2 : 31st Century Combat Win 95 pentium edition to work forever.
Basically, I am running under windows XP Home edition. I've tried changing my mech 2.exe properties to allow for win 95, with no success. Basically the window closes before the game can fully launch. I only see a blank window for a moment, and then back to desktop. I tried running it with Virtual as was suggested by another poster, but I cant really figure out what I'm doing with it. I actually think I used DOS instead of win95 as the OS, like a true newbie.
Anyways, will Virtual PC work with the win95 version, on winXP home edition? If so, are there any instructions on how to do so? Or does anyone know a more "idiot-friendly" way to get mech2 working? I only want to play single player games, btw, so netmech isnt necessary. Thx.
