Is it possible to get this running on a Windows XP PC?

I know XP is quite new but I found my old EFMI disc the other day and it comes up with the message that basically it's too old to run.

Hi all. I couldn't ge the game to install but when I sorted that out, I just launched it but then got a black screen and then it returns to Windows. I even tried that where you run it in an older version in the propeties menu and it still doesn't run.

make sure your disk is clean, I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't work

Haven't been able to play it on anything older than XP, but that might have something to do with the hardware of my previous computer instead of the OS.

Could be your graphics card mate. I know monkey island really doesnt take much graphics to use but your graphics card could be faulty?

Very much indeed it works for XP.. heck it even works just perfectly on a Vista.. though you cant alt tab out to windows during play..
