I'm trying to run an old computer game called Space Bucks on my XP computer. It was made for Windows 3.1, and I can't get it to run. All I get is a blank box named Error. How can I run it in XP? Do I need an old Windows emulator?

Start>All programs> Accessories> Program Compatibility Wizard

Never used it myself but read somewhere in a Windows help file that it is made exactly for what you need.

Good luck and let me know if it works.

- It doesn't really work. It will launch the program, but then it will run in the background for forever with no way of accessing it. Plus, the Program Compatibility Wizard has nothing for programs that were made before Windows 95.

- Then you need an emulator. Like I said...I just read about that a while ago and thought it might help ya.
