Sorry if it annoys u, feel free to move it.

With XP half way though the install of birth of the federation it gives me a error.
I need to know if it is a problem with my CD or a XP problem that everyonehas.
I have this problem with allot of old games like the orginal CnC on XP.

Try and run itin comaptibilty mode user


Right click on shortcut, right click properties, goto the compatibilty tab and run it in windows 98 mode, see if that works
