Hello!

I downloaded a game from 1997 that i'v played when i was a child alot.
I was sick a day and got that on my mind and i really missed it. it brings back alot of good memories

When i try to install it says that the program cannot start couse i have 64bit system.
I'v looked everywhere for an answer but never found anything.
So i hope you can help me shane!

A lot of old games wont run on 64 bit Windows. But some can with a few tricks.

What game is it?

It looks like it is the game stopping from running not Windows.

So the trick is to have the game run in a 32 bit XP

Virtual PC is free.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

This will let you run another OS inside your Windows 7

Then you should be able to play the game in the virtual PC. Since it is such an old game it should play fine.

It's likea Daemon tools ?

i get this:
You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode.

[Shane]

Dont get the XP mode one. Just get virtual PC. Then you need to get your hands on an XP disk and install XP in the virtual PC.

Shane

[Hyldran0]

Hmm i only got a map with the name Virtual PC

You could also see if virtualbox might be better, would need to look up reviews to see which would do the games better. Both free

Hmm i don't get so much but i will look into it a bit better, I created a Virtual PC from the Virtual PC map.
something Virtual Disk, a black window popped up with some text

[Shane]

Right, then you have to mount a xp cd to it, from there you install xp.

Right now it is a virtual PC with no operating system installed

Shane

[Hyldran0]

Hmm Okey

I download a XP version.
and run it like ?


I brun it to CD and restart computer and such ?
or can i run it directly in this black window ? :O
