Only when you use Service Pack 1 and not 2 or 3

Damned, I have SP3...
is there really no possibility to get it working??

Henry

But I think the compatibility mode is still contained in service pack 2 or 3.

But the compatibility mode don't work at fifa98
The only other way is to make a new partition with a second XP with Sp1 only or you make a virtual machine with XP SP1

Was this volitional by microsoft when creating sp2 and sp3?

Not directly, but that older games and programms don't work more after some years is normal, because every some years give it new operating systems with new techniques etc but for the games/programs give it no updates more after a while

In my theory the gaming developers and Microsoft sign contracts so that both have a profit, e.g. ea makes the latest games only work on new operating systems and Microsoft prevents people from buying too old games like 98 so that the people buy the new games.
