[Prob] Getting some games to run under XP

[Nomad]

Can anyone spare a hint on how to get the following games to runder under XP?

Floyd, The Space Bar, Zork Grand Inquisitor.

Original (non Budget) (though German) versions each.

I think I played ZGI on XP no problem, but it's been awhile. It may have been win2k.

The installation of ZGI under my XP pretens to work fine, but quits short to the end.

[Nomad]

To be precise, it bitches about a "win95???.dll" not found. Does that ring a bell, perhaps?

[Nomad]

w95inf32.dll not found, right before reaching the 100% mark of the installation routine. The .dll is in the system32-dir, of course. Others don't have thios problem. What might be wrong with my system?

Hi Nomad! I responded to you over at Gameboomers too. Have you tried putting the installer in compatibility mode before running it?

I acquired this game recently but have not tried installing it yet.

Thanks for your answer. I've tried the compat mode indeed, but with no success. The weird thing is that a lot of people say they had no problem getting ZGI to run under XP. I'll try to get the English version, maybe that one works better.

Weird. Sorry compatibility mode didn't help. I have the English version and am planning to play it in the near future. I'll let you know if I figure anything out on this issue.
