Two Toots to you too!

Hi: Gerry here from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, not too far from the infamous Toronto.
I love good strategy games. I started playing Railroad Tycoon II when it first came out and did for many years. When RRT III came out, I recall I didn't have a good enough computer to run it. When I finally got a computer that could run it, RRT III was no longer on the market, and RRT II wouldn't run on it properly, so I sort of lost it until now. (Didn't know about eBay, Amazon, etc back then.)
I still have my copy of RRT II, and now I have a son who is interested. I have a strictly (legacy) gaming computer, a P-4 2.4 gHz XP SP-3 for games, that he (and I) uses. I thought I saw something about a file or procedure to help you play RRT II on XP. Can anyone help me with that until I can get a copy of RRTIII?
Btw, LouisXIV is my standard name for all the boards I sign onto, so I won't forget. I am a volunteer moderator on the CDV website for strategy military games. I figured that Louis XIV of France was the biggest warmonger in history - he started 4 major wars for his own personal glory - so I thought I'd use him as my moniker.
Around here - and I think standard for North America - Two toots means you're about to start moving forward. I think that's appropriate here.
