XP has wiped out the past but try this anyway.If you have trouble useing W9x and me software.
This is for all older Windows software.don't let the file name make you wonder.

This applys to most W9x games and me too
First print these directions so you can follow all this
Its not hard, just follow all the steps.

1) If you have the game installed already, UNINSTALL it, we need to start fresh.
Install the game and select CUSTOM INSTALL and make sure ALL the boxes are checked and you install everything there is shown.
Install the game, it will take a few minutes.


2) Now in the game folder,
C:\Program Files\Pro Pinball\BigRaceUSA\ find BigRaceUSA.exe Right click
on it and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and click the small box that
says Run in Compatability Mode and select in the other box Windows 98SE/ME and click the apply button at the bottom of the window.

I tried this and saw no problems running this game in WinXP.

Part 2 is the thing.

:D:)

so you said to uninstall a working game, reinstall it and put it in compatibility mode; what is the point of doing this with a working game anyway?

This post was meant for ones who do have problems with W9x software and XP. Was that so hard to see.
Glad you don't,so maybe you will help some confussed XP user on this.
