Don't know about that, Virtual PC didn't even work on mine!
But I think there is a patch or something...

Yes its does work with virtual machine but i did have alot of problems with it, best bet is to get a copy of the war of the worlds companion software. its great got loads of features that really improve gameplay and make it niclely playable on 2000 and xp minus the music unfortunatley, but that would not play on virtual machine either!!!!

Hmm, My wife wanted to play it so we installed it on her computer, her's is XP also, it intalls fine but just will not play at all... not sure why. I tried setting it to 98 compatability but it just wouldn't have it, unistalled it after that  |

I have no idea what this 'companion' has on it apart from a fixed EXE which allows play on XP but... If you don't want to pay for something right click and 'save target as' on this link... www.londonbwts.co.uk/Funnies/stuff/WarOfTheWorldsFixedexe.zipIt's a FREE fixed EXE file which you just need to copy into the game folder when downloaded and the game should work. Also only play from a new boot and delete your caches if you can. That reduces the chances of it not working as the game, being old, tries to convince your system it doesn't have enough memory to run it. |

Let's hope the next generation of the pc will be able to play old games!
