How Do I Run Seven Kingdoms in XP?

"Seven Kingdoms," developed by Enlight Software, is a strategy game released in 1997 for Windows 95. Running the game on newer operating systems, such as Windows XP, can be problematic for some users. However, with the built-in compatibility mode feature on Windows XP, you can simulate the Windows 95 operating system for "Seven Kingdoms." To properly run the game, you must enable compatibility mode once before installation and once before running the game. Aside from these tweaks, "Seven Kingdoms" has no problem running under Windows XP.
