I was feeling nostalgic and going through some of my old CDs the other day, and I noticed my copy of "The Rugrats Movie Soundtrack" has a few demos on it when I pop it into my computer.

The demos include:
"The Rugrats Movie Action Game"
"Rugrats Adventure Game"
"Rugrats Print Studio"


I can install the software just fine, and the demo of "The Rugrats Movie" works perfectly. However, I can't play the "Rugrats Adventure Game" demo. At first, a window kept popping up saying it encountered an unknown error. I switched compatibility mode to Windows 95, and that error went away. But now it's telling me it needs Quicktime 3.0 in order to run.

I installed Quicktime 3.0, but it's still telling me I need to install it. What should I do? :huh:

The demos are of a CD-ROM game that was meant for use on Windows 95/98, if that helps.
 
Some of those old games look for MS-DOS commands that were moved around in XP or eliminated altogether.
You might need to look at installing dosbox. http://www.dosbox.com/ It's an MS-DOS emulator and should resolve any of those compatibility issues.
