    Post Trick Win2K into playing games

    Like the title says...I'm trying to find a way to allow me to play a game that wasn't made for 2K. Whenever I try to run it it tells me that the file has created errors and that windows will have to be restarted. The game is The Wheel of Time...it says for 9x platforms...but I figured that it should have played in 2K since Unreal does, and they're built on the same engine...but alas. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appriciate them.

    Yea...I prefer to use Win2k...considering that I don't even have my 98SE partition working correctly...I guess I'm gonna have to make it...otherwise I guess I've wasted an entire $10.

    Well, I got it working right. I downloaded the newest patch and it worked correctly. I'm not quite sure why, as Win2K support wasn't part of the patch, but I'm not gonna complain.
