no game playing

[zipp51]

frusrated, have really great games, but will not play on win xp2, used makecompat but to no avail..........eg. silent hunter, quake, wheels of freedom, dig, swat, bad mojo, full throttle, among others....do i need a boot disk or something else ??

Did any of these games play on XP sp1?If so then if the game installs but won't play, then have you tried the game creator website for patches?My Quake 4 game kept crashing and after the patch worked fine.
