House of the Dead not XP compatible?

(1/2) > >>

Hey guys I ordered a copy of House of the Dead.  I could of sworn the amazon seller said it was for 95, 98, and NT.  I got the CD from the guy and it said windows 95 and 98.  I tried to run the setup.exe anyway and a message popped up saying not NT compatible or something like that.  If it would atleast let me install it I could do the win95/98 compatiblity mode, but to no avail? 

Does your copy of House of the Dead work on XP??? If so how did you get it to work?

ChicagoDave:
I got it to work just fine on Windows XP SP2 using the following two suggestions from the FAQs.

The same method also worked for a couple other programs from XPLOSIV that were not designed for XP.

Thanks alot Dave I will try this when i get home later tonight!  Very cool!

This did do the trick.  It played fine, but the gun didn't work like it should till I downloaded the USB fix thing for the Act-Labs Gun.  But I tell you what...I took this game off my system.  It sucks.  Just not as fun as part 2 and part 3.  I don't think I will ever play that game it blows so bad.

i agree i bought HOTD 1 and 2

and 2 works amazing on XP and then i went to install 1 and wel!!!

it wouldn't work so i got the old 98 out and it still wouldn't work!!!
