Dosfreak, of course I'm not being obtuse on purpose. And, I really do appreciate Wilhelmuses, and your sincere attempt to help. NHL 2001 runs perfect on default XP. Now, your saying NHL 99 will work on XP w/ 95 compatibility. Yet, the so-called Microsoft PC Game Expert claims NHL 2000 and older, will not work on XP. Period. Do you see why I'm so confused? I'm hearing yes and no. That's what I'm saying. If NHL 99 and 2001 work, then why won't 2000, when they use the same System Requirements. Dosfreak, are you telling me that if I do what Wilhelmus said, this will fix the problem for sure?

I am receiving that error because NHL 2000 is not XP compatibile even w/ Compatibility Wizard. So I need to know, is multiple booting my PC, with XP and Windows 98 my only solution?

Those files aren't corrupted. NHL 2000 will not run on XP. That's my problem. Question is, how do I get NHL 98-2000 working? Must I multiple boot? If so, how? I'm so confused. Where do I get a free copy of Windows 95 or 98?

And what exactly will this do? Will this damage my computer? I just wanna play NHL 2000, 99, 98, and 97. If I do that, will I be able to play these games?

How do I do that? Step-by-step.

Will EA Sports' NHL '97, '98, '99, and 2000 run on Windows XP? If not, what do I need to run each game? All help is much appreciated.

Can anybody test these games out, and post their results in the Compatibility List? NHL 2001 runs perfect on default WXP. However, I can't test out the others yet, because I am waiting for them to be delivered.
