Getting old games to work on XP

Recommended Posts

So I'd like to buy Wolfenstein 3D for my laptop. The laptop is brand new and it runs on Windows XP. I heard that if i wanted to buy a lot of old games like W3D that I'd have to do some kind of crazy configuring to get it to work on XP. Does anyone know how I would do this or what I have to do to have old games run on XP?

It's not that involved...

 

Right click the program that you want to play, and go to properties. Then, compatibility. Then, click make this program compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, etc...
