Colin McRae on Windows XP

[Bakersboy]

This is my first post here, can anyone suggest a solution? I have just upgraded from Windows 98SE to XP, and so far the only downside is that the original Colin McRae Rally will not work (I have 2 and 3 working) I realise its supported by Windows 95 and 98 (+ME?) but is there any way to get it working on XP? It is still a good game and a source of enjoyment and it would be a shame for it only to sit on the shelf!

Any help please?

Thanks

maybe try the compatibility mode, rightclick on the colin.exe there you select use compatibility mode

Thanks for the reply, sorry for my ignorance, but where is the "Colin.exe" file located? I've searched, but without any success......

Thank you for your help, after a re think and a clearer mind I have followed your instructions, and it is now working beautifully. The long winter nights will be so much easier now!

A big thank you, your help is much appreciated......
