, I think I have found the problem relating to Windows 2000, the file path is wrong and it is looking to the path where I have the game installed.

What needs to be done is to uninstall any other compatibility fixes you already have to get these games to work to avoid any other possible problems then load my compatibility fix (XWTIE95.sdb) for editing in Compatibility Administrator 3.0 then right click on the entry for tie95.exe or xwing95.exe and select Edit Application Fix then keep clicking the next button until you get to Matching Information then click Show All Attributes click ok in message that appears then give the full path of where you installed the games then click finish then save and install the compatibility database using Compatibility Administrator 3.0

The above steps need to be done for the tie95.exe entry and the tiestart.exe entry for the TIE Fighter 95 fix and the xwing95.exe entry and xwingtie.exe entry for the X-Wing 95 fix.

The file paths problem does not appear to affect my Windows XP system as I tested this by uninstalling TIE Fighter 95 and reinstalling it to a different hard disk and folder and the fix still worked.

This file paths problem might be a Windows 2000 issue
