| 83458 | 2002-09-26 09:58:00 | Hi johnboy, Windows XP does not like to play some of the older style games. When the game was made Windows XP was not available and that is why the help file doesn't say anything about it being incompatible with XP. This however does not mean XP will not run it, You could try running it in compatibility mode for a earlier version of windows to see if that helps. To do this find the executable file for Deer Hunter, right click it and select properties. On the compatibility tab check the box and select windows 95 or 98 then exit by clicking OK. Hope this helps Regards Sam H |
