Vista Games into XP

Posted: 07-11-2006, 03:43 PM
Hi All,

I love Vista Games, especially Chess Titans.

I work mostly on XP (I can't install most of my applications into Vista).

So I want to copy Chess Titans into XP.

So that I can play same game in XP as well as run applications in background.

Can I do it?
How to do it?

Thanks in Advance

What problems are you encountering trying to install apps? You do know that
you can install in XP Compatibility mode if needed, don't you?

In a Channel 9 video six months or more ago I think I heard the comment that
the Vista games are not backportable.

At this time, you cannot run Vista-native programs on XP or others due to
the fact that Vista apps use a different executable header (i.e. not PE
format).
You would need to find a PE Format version of the game you want.
