    Exclamation Call to power II

    I brought my brother a game called civilization: call to power II for xmas (it arrived today). Opened it up, and the back of the box said it wouldn't run on windows XP. I would have thought that there's be some sort of a patch to make to run on newer machines. Does anyone know of one.

    I'd have thought that all windows operating systems would be able to play a game so long as the games' older than the OS....

    Anyone know of anything that might help, or should I take it back?

    Weird, I've had Call to Power original working on XP. Have you tried running it? Not sure but it may predate XP so won't show that it's compatible with it on the box as they would've had no way of testing it when the box was printed.

    Sorry - I forgot I had this thread as nobody replied.

    Anyway, it DOES say on the back it won't work with XP, but a few hours after posting this thread I decided to put it in. The first thing that poped up was a message saying that it'd check if my system requirements were OK. I clicked next, and it said something like:

    "This game works on windows XP"

    Or something to that effect. Basically, I then cancelled and gave it to my bother as a late christmas present. Since then he seems to have got it working on his computer.

    Thanks for the reply anyhow .
