I have two 18GB SCSI drives. Drive 0 has two partitions: c:\ which is 2GB and currently has NT4 on it and d:\ (16GB) which has W2K Pro on it. I now want to get rid of NT4 on C:\ and install Win98SE there instead so I can still play the odd game (I find W2K games support is still pretty bad). How do I do this? The C:\ drive is formatted with FAT so can I just bung the Win98 CD and install to the C:\ drive over the top of NT4? If I do this what will happen to my dual boot menu? I still want W2K to be the default but the menu would need to lose NT4 and gain Win98. (Maybe I have to edit boot.ini myself?) I don't wanna just dive in and do it in case I screw it all up!! Anybody got any help for me on this one?

Having seen on the compatible games list that QII (original version) should run under W2K without problems I tried to install it. I tried both the normal setup.exe and also the one in the /install directory. On both occasions it tells me that Quake does not run "under this langauge version of Windows 95/NT". Does that mean I have to change the locale of my PC? How can I find out what language version it is expecting? I also want to install Half Life (the original version 1.0) - what do I need to do to get it to run on W2K? Download the latest patch? Or do I have to download some 'critical update' patches for it? Since I have never updated it (I don't play games very often!) I can't find any info on what I need to do to get it to run on W2K. Thanks in advance for any help offered. ------------------------------------------ Dell Precision 420 Workstation Dual 600Mhz PIII's 512MB ECC RDRAM Elsa Synergy Force 32MB (GeForce 256) 2x18GB 10,000RPM SCSI HDD Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI

Thanks for the reply - yes I am in the UK and I bought the game when I lived in Australia (which means it is probably the US version). I did try changing the locale which didn't make any difference but I will try changing it in both locations and see what happens. Cheers!

I had the same problem... I thought you ran each game by saying 'setwin95 <game.exe>'. You don't.... all SetWin95 does is patch the executable to think it is running under '95. You need to first copy setwin95.cmd to a directory in your path (eg: \winnt\system32) then go to the directory that <game.exe> is in and type 'setwin95 <game.exe>' and it will patch it. Then run it normally. It's worked for me though only on about half the games I've tried.
