Win 2000 Game on Win 7

[Bani]

I want to play a game which must run on Windows 2000 but I have Windows 7.
What to do? Do I really need to install Win 2000 or can I use Win 7?
Thanks.
PS: Sorry, but I'm a little ignorant with these things.

Install it
Try it
If that doesnt work try compatiblity mode
If that doesn't work install Win2K on a VM if you're desperate

+1 ... yeah, won't hurt to try.
Which game is it by the way? Maybe we can find some info on it for you to see if it will work?

Hmmm, ja... the best you can do is to play with the compatibility settings.

Even the old "Unreal" series will run on Win7.
If it wont run, try changing to "run in XP compatibility mode" - failing that if you have Win7 Pro or above you can download Windows Virtual PC and run it from XP mode(basiclly installs XP within Win7) available free.
