I've made this thread for troubleshooting for games, as most of us propably have had some kind of installing/running problems with various titles, especially old ones.
Feel free to submit any hardware and software solutions and problems here.
For starters I have one problem that desires solution. I've been trying to run Entomorph Plague of Darkfall on my Windows XP. I've managed to install the game without problems but I get "Too little memory" message or something when I try to run it. Windows comtability modes have been of no help and I can't run it on dosbox either since it is windows 95 game. Any help?

Sorry, Humakt, no help from me by now , but just another problem here:
When I try installing Warcraft 2 in my computer (windows XP), it installs, but when you play around 10-20 minutes, it closes all by itself. Plus, sometimes this 'closing-bug' happens at certain moments when you are playing, like when you save it, then 2 minutes later it crashes. If you try loading, it won't take 10-20 minutes, but 2 minutes to crash.

Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode? Like Windows 95 for example?

Get Windows application compatibility toolkit 5.0. Then you do the following:
