Re: Win. 98 Scabble won't work



When you use compatibility mode you will have to INSTALL in this mode as well. Create a short cut to the installation program by sending a short cut to the desktop and change the short cut to the desired compatibility. Install from there and create a short cut to the installed program with the compatibility you need.

I have Win. XP but the Scrabble CD I have runs on 95 or 98. I can install it and I have tried using the compatibility wizard and settings. When I click on play my screen goes black except for the arrow which is only visible if I move it to the bottom of the screen. I end up having to do a cold shutdown of my machine to get the desktop back up. I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, tried various compatibility settings, and checked for updates. All without any luck. Does anyone out there have this program that can tell me how to get it to work? Infogrames doesn't support it anymore and I love to play scrabble. My PC is a HP Pavilion with Intel Celeron 1.8 GHz, 504 MB RAM. Thanks
