Default How do I install Worms on XP??

Hi all,

A snetter kindly sent me his unwanted copy of the original worms for the PC.

Only it can't be run on XP. My mate tried to partition the drive and install either Win 95 or 98 but as XP is already installed we have to de-install and restart the process.

Is there another option to have this game run on XP?

All help greatly appreciated.

Right click the game exe file
Properties
Compatibility
And put a tick in 'Run this program in compatability mode for Windows 95"

Not promising it will work but I've used that in the past on various programs with success...
