i found what one has to do get it to work in Windows Xp or in my case Windows Xp pro (OEM)

step:
connect to Novaworld servers
1.) turn off the internal firewall (Windows firewall BEST get another firewall to use)
A.) go to "Start/Connect to" your item you use to connect to right click-on it.
B.) see "Properties" click-on it.
C.) See a tap "Advanced" click-on it
B.) see under Advanced a option "Internet connection firewall"
uncheck it.
windows will say you are leaveing your self wide open click-ok
(best have a firewall get one asap before disable this. i have norton firewall to cover me).

2.) Make it to work with Windows Xp serials:
A.) do this by going to "df.exe" right click-on.
B.) see "Properties" click-on it.
C.) see Tap up top "Compatibility" click-on it.
D.) you then see a option "Compatibility mode"
E.) check it and set it to ether Windows 95 or Windows 98 / Windows Me. (i have it set to windows 95)
F.) after click-on "Apply", and after click-on "ok" your set.

the Compatibility mode was made by microsoft. so you can use older games or programs that are not setup for windows xp or windows xp pro, I think Windows 2003 is the same way (server program) can't say 100% if this is the case or not don't have it.

Compatibility mode is only setup for Windows 95, 98/Me,2000, Net 4 (service pack 5) thats all the windows it cover. i am happy that they added-in that option for all of us to use.
