I have windows Xp and I get to work it when I choose compatible with windows 95 but in the game i have problem with the controls.The player keeps moving round and round by itself and some movements are disabled I guess. Up arrow and right arent working only down and left.

There is a little trick which can be done to get RE1 working under xp or newer systems. Don't click the setup icon, click launch icon with the picture of rebecca on it, making sure you have selected 95 compatibility mode. Even though it comes up with and error if you bring up task manager and end the error task, it will ask you what graphics card to choose. Now you need to do this very quickly before it ends the task, quickly choose the first graphics card then select ok, after that quickly choose the directory you want to install to, wholaa! the game installs. :)

The setup is available only if you choose win95.

However you won't be able to launch the game because of the graphics card error.

Since the game asks to choose what graphics card to use to play it, nomater what card you choose, the game will not run!

If somebody could help with this!
