Need Help Installing Old Games...

Thanks for your quick reply. However, websites you directed are for help with
running the game. I need some help with the installation. Thanks again.

For myself IG2 said the install failed but it worked. It would not run
though until I set the virtual memory to 512mb. I originally found it on a
Spanish site but just googling found it here too:

I have the other two games you mentioned AC never gave me any problems
except for some graphic glitches.

I War I couldn't get to work but I didn't put a lot of effort into it.

Good luck.
