When we put the CD in the drive, it spins around and makes noise, but nothing happens. We have Windows XP and the game says the minimum requirements are Windows 98/95. It also says the Windows 98/95 is a recommended requirement. Is there any way this program can be installed into our computer. Is there anything to download which will help?
