Rating: - This DOES work on XP
In order to get it to install on Windows XP, you open "my computer" and right click on the cd and click "open". You'll then want to change the way it installs from "windows 95" to "windows 98/Windows ME". Then it will install and play just fine.
Rating: - XP problems easily fixed! Great game!
Several reviews mention the difficulties of running the game in Windows XP, I encountered some difficulties myself...and here is how to change them.
Firstly, don't autoron the first CD when you first insert it, open up the CD, and right click the TLCTour.exe, in Properties, click to emulate running it in Windows 95. The game should now install and run fine. There are a few screen glitches, as it changes between the regular setting and the 256 colors of Windows 95, however, the game runs easily, without needing any downloads, from what I've seen.
On a side note, however, the game seems to rarely actually catch any fish.
Rating: - Didn't work on XP
But it did work on my windows 95 computer for a little while. Then, it started having technical difficulties on there too. Probably will perform best on a windows 98 computer. Good luck!
Rating: - Great Game
I am not sure why people insist on leaving bad marks on a game that is a classic when they try to run it on their new PC. Its like trying to play a VCR tape in a toaster.... The catch is... you CAN get your Windows XP to play old games. Just go to Microsofts website and download the 45 day trial of their windows 95 emulation... it lets you play all your classic software. If you like it, the cost is very reasonable. And don't try using anything but bread in your toaster... even with a download, it usually ends in quite a mess.
Rating: - XP users beware
This version absolutely does not open with Windows XP. Might need 95, might be able to use 98.
