How to disguise XP when game playing

Recommended Posts

I have a friend who's using XP Home which won't allow her to install and play one of her fav games, Cyber Tarot by Multicom Publishing. Is there any sleight-of-hand trick that will cause the game to think it's in a Win9x environment and allow the game to be played? As a user of Win2K I can do this most effectively4 by using the APCOMPAT.exe file from the install disc and pull the wool over a particular application's eyes making it think it's being run on 98 or any of several NT4.0+__SP. She'd rather avoid the hassle of creating a partition for a dual boot scenario if that is at all feasible. When she asked me about this, I said that I knew right where to go for the best possible advice on the matter - the uber OS mavens at NTC! Thanks once again for sharing your wisdom, fella's!
