Help w/ older game

[Turtle Wiz]

Hi I recently bought a new pc, since then i have bought new games for it, the problem is that my sister also uses my pc but she doesnt really enjoy the newest games, she likes older games. Now for the question does it hurt my computer if i instal old games on it that are before XP came out? (they were for windows 98) thanxs!!

Some will work, others will need compatibility mode under properties for the main EXE File.

ok i dont really know wat that means but ok. ill try installing them on the computer, but my question isnt if theyd work its if they would mess up my computer if i installed them but hey thanx anyways

If the game won't start, right click the exe file for the game,select properties, Compatibility tab.

its just something ive heard around. but anyways they dont work as soon as i put it in my computer i waited for the install window and it didnt come up instead it said this software does not support windows nt, whatever that means

What game. The ones Ive installed fine. If the Game won't even install your our of luck. There might be a hack around the internet, just google the game..
