Until recently most games were designed to run under WIN 95/98. Many of these will not run under WIN XP.

Modern games are designed to run under both WIN 98 and WIN XP. I assume that to do so requires adding some extra code to the game. But I have no idea how much work is involved.

One such game is Uncommon Valour. I took my copy of Uncommon Valour to the local MAC shop. I installed it under Virtual PC but the game refused to run.

Is it necessary to add extra code to the game before it will run under Virtual PC?

JOe I think Matrix use a copy protection system that may be causing you a problem.

Wht out of interest are you using Virtual Windows? What version of BG's greatest are you running?
