I had to fiddle with it awhile, but I did get The Incredible Machine 3.0 (made for windows 95) to run in windows 95 compatibility mode on my xp machine. I had to load it in compatibiltiy mode (autorun) and then I had to set the downloaded game executable to run in compatibility mode. Like I said, I spent a little time experimenting so I loaded, tried, and removed the files, and loaded again.... but in the end I got it to work.
Goodluck and thanks for the tip!

If you're having graphics problems, also make sure you set the game to run in 640x480 at 256 colors under compatibility mode. Anything more than that will cause the graphics to look messed up.

I still have occasional problems with some games (King's Quest 6 and Jones In The Fast Lane) either in Windows (kq6) or DosBox (Jones) with the color pallette not cycling when it's supposed to, giving me backgrounds or characters with the colors all jumbled up. Even when I try to access the "High Resolution Background Art" feature on the KQ6CD, some of the backgrounds come up totally messed up.
