Hi, I have just bought a new PC with Microsoft XP, Intel 82865G, Pentium 4, CPU 2-80 ghz, virtual memory 284mb, 512 mb ram memory, 40gb hard drive with analog monitor. I am a complete novice so am trying to bring myself into the 21st century. I have bought Settlers, Rise of Empires, and it does not work on my machine. Could you please tell me what else I need to have in order for this to work. Also, if I was to buy any games that require Windows 98, will they work on my machine without any problems? Thanks for the help.
