Anyway, I'm trying to run a Windows 98 game (Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition) on it but it won't work. I've tried adjusting the compatibility thingie under properties. That didn't work. I've been reading some stuff online that says to uninstall it and reinstall under compatibility mode. I have no idea how to do that.

Any suggestions?

The only work around is to open the console* while playing. For some games compatibility mode installation (or just running) works, eg Diablo & Diablo 2, not NWN.

* Cheat code entry, usually via the Tilde (`) button.
