Win 7 in xp mode

[Kilauea]

Hey,

I am trying to run a fairly old game in Win 7, but I keep on getting a total mess with the colors. I'd like to run the game in xp mode, but not sure how to do it. Normally what it does is that it suggests XP mode automatically, but now I do not get the option. How would I go and start XP mode manually.

Thanks

you right click on the icon of your game and go in the properties and after compatibility mode tab

Ya I was talking about XP compatible mode, will now try the game to see how it works with that. Thanks for both answers.

good because you may have run into a problem ; XP mode run only with Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate

If you get a chance, report back on your experience. I would like to know how XP Mode for 7 worked out on games. I've seen it on Microsoft's site but, they were talking about it being more for office apps.

Well, problem not solved. The game is playable, but I get negative like colors after 5 to 45 seconds of play. The game is Worms 2. I know its not a new game, but its fun and I felt like playing some of it against my cousin. I was able to play it in XP. I tried windows 95, 98, XP compatibility mode. I tried with 256 colors, I tried in 640x480. All failed, anyone has other suggestions to play this ?
