Have you tried the 'compatibility' tab on the Properties page (right
click on the programme file)?

I was intending to do that with the win95 version on an XP computer, but
when I tried to install the game it wouldn't install. I just got a
message box to say that the programme is for win95 only, then the
install programme closed when I clicked on it.

and your point ?

i posted at the bottom, i just forgot to delete my sig from the top
the only thing i am guilty of is not having an email program that will post
SIGs at the bottom
so i gotta manually copy and paste to the bottom
and occasionally forget to delete.

You'd be better off disactivating the automatic signature insertion of
OE and when you are at the point where you want your signature (ie when
you have finished your reply) use the menu Insert. That way you won't
forget and though you still have a click or two to do, it isn't much
different from cut and paste.
