Risk game

When I try to run risk, it says it must run in windows 95. What's wrong?

Right click the .exe for the game, and choose properties. Next, click the compatability tab at the tob, and check the box for "Run in compatibility mode for Windows 95". If that still doesn't work, check all the boxes under the compatibility tab.

Hope that helps
Mike

I am running W2K. And this is during installation.

you should be able to right click the setup file and run it in compatibility for Win95. I'm assuming Win2K has this feature.

If you're installing from a cd, right click the cd in my computer and click explore to see the setup file.

I tried. It doesn't. Is there a way around it though?
