• Windows 7 compatibility with the old game

  I used the resolution of compatibility issues in Control Panel to install my old pc game (cake mania 2) it installs and the game plays fine until I have shut down the game and try to reopen it. The convenience store said detected incompatible application.

  the programmer of the game say they're working on an upgrade to it. but do not know when it will be available.

  What don't get me, is why he runs very well the first time. I can even uninstall. reinstall it with the convenience store and my saved game is still there, and the game works perfectly until I got close.

  I am confused? Any ideas?

  Hi empony,

  When you are working on your computer and install a new program, the installation suddenly fails. Now, you're left with a partly installed program. You try to install the program again, but you're unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old program because the installation files are damaged.

  Download and install the Windows Cleanup utility to uninstall the game completely from the computer, and then start with a new facility.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  Once done with the uninstallation, you can install the game in Compatibility Mode and check if it works very well.

  Access the link below to install the game in Compatibility Mode.

  Also, make sure that you temporarily disable any Antivirus software on the computer.

  Make sure that you enable the security software after the attempt.

• Old games made for XP does not work on Windows 7

  Hey there,
  I have a problem with my Sims game. I installed it once, with all the expansions, bar 1. I played the game for about 2 days when I found another expansion. I installed this expansion, after that, I tried to play again, and it came with this message: "It has come to our attention that you have installed an another Sims expansion pack after the Sims Makin ' Magic. ' To work correctly, installer of Makin ' Magic will now update your installation. Select OK to continue. "I did it, and he arrives with the shield of the installation, completed the update and comes up with" do you want to uninstall Makin ' Magic? "Initially, I selected YES uninstalled the whole game and started to be again once I installed Makin ' Magic last. It is still coming up with this message, I can play is no longer the game, please, IF anyone CAN HELP, THAT would BE LARGELY APPRECIATED. .

  Hello Jodie.

  Unfortunately as you have discovered the Sims with its packs of extensions is a bit a mess. Even try to run them on Windows XP is a significant exercise.

  Could you tell it that mean you by "It is still coming up with this message", is asking if you want to uninstall Makin ' Magic?  If so what options does it?

  Although I would also like to get the Sims 2 and Sims 3 are much better games. :-)

  Hello
  my system is a laptop with Vista Home Basic, hav just installed service pack 2, but had these errors before, intel celeron dual core 1.73 ghz t1400.
  I am trying to install two old games, alien trilogy and army, both men are on the perfectly legal full versions of records.
  When I try to install the alie trilogy, I get the message "c windows system32 cmd.exe, this system does not support mode full screen" after the back, opens the window. After that, I have to press the close button.
  during the installation of the army men I get the message "component RICHTX32. OCX is not correctly registered: file is missin or invalid.
  doesanyone have any ideas to fix these errors?
  Thank you

  For the Alien trilogy.  This site contains information about how to work around the issue that is detailed, but you can't find it useful.  If you have an older version of XP laying around, you can consider creating a configuration dual-boot, you can boot into XP to load these old games and use Vista for everything else.

• Reg.exe stopped working on windows 7 64 bit when I want to play an old game.

  Hello guys. I am using windows 7 Home premium 64-bit in my laptop. I just downloaded an old game (2005-2006 perhaps) so I wanted to play. After finishing download (no virus, I checked), and I run the executable files, the message occurred: Reg.exe has stopped working. and the game does not start.

  The game has an application inside reg.exe file, and I think I have to run it manually. but when I tried to run it, the same message is produced.

  This is the error log:

  Signature of the problem:
  Problem event name: BEX
  

  Application name: reg.exe

  Additional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

  I already asked in a computer forum, but they said that it is the problem of the ILO. and I read in microsoft help, the reg.exe will not run under 64-bit windows. I read the conclusion, but this isn't for windows server 2003, Windows 7. It says that I have to type reg query \\64server\HKLM\software/reg: 64 or if I want to change it to 32 bits reg.exe, I need to replace the reg: 64 by reg: 32.

  Will there be another conclusion of this problem instead to install the 32-bit operating system?

  What about XP mode for windows 7, it'll work?

  Help me please... Thank you very much.

  Best regards

  Hi Liclac,

  ·        What is the name of the game?

  Check if the game is compatible with windows 7, you can see the ink below:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If the game is not compatible then you can try to run the game in compatibility mode or in windows XP mode.

  Try to run the game in compatibility mod and check if the error occurs again: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

• Trying to get former video game PC on Windows 7 64 bit compatibility

  I'm a gamer and I have a large library of games old and not so old (e.g. Civ IV, CivCity Rome, Rome: Total War, Neverwinter Nights, etc..) I have been to the Windows 7 Compatibility Checker and noticed a bit of a mixed bag for what is compatible or not.

  It seems that Microsoft have placed a big emphasis on Windows 7 and I want to upgrade, but you need to know that Microsoft will support old libraries of games that work on XP.  I find it frustrating if this was not the case, especially given that the future of XP support is constantly questioned and players tend to invest a LOT of money in the games they buy.  Can you please let us know the plan and the timeline to ensure that the games will be compatible?

  Thank you!

  DCSims

  Microsoft has released only the game so you wouldn't necessarily talk to them to get support for it. Read this for more information http://games.ign.com/objects/026/026376.html
  Like 2 K Games Borderlands published, but the gearbox developed. I wouldn't talk about 2K games how the game should work.

  When they acquire Ensemble Studios they closed a lot earlier this year, so remove all official support the devs themselves. Usually with this old games, you'll be happy not to have to do something special.

  I hope that if someone comes to you and says YES we will support our own published games. One might think that right?

• Get old games to run on 64-bit

  I was wondering if there is a way to get Putt Putt saves the zoo on Windows 7 64 bit. Yes I know, that it is an old game that's 95

  If its 16 or 8-bit 64-bit does not support it. Unless you use Pro or Ultimate, you can try XP mode

• Old games COMPATIBILITY in XP

  How the old games like Duke Nukem (I think than windows 95) can be played on windows XP? Thank you

  I thought it was a DOS game. Well, at least is Duke Nukem 3D. Try downloading and the use of DosBox . Maybe it's not simple stuff, but you can play the game using them.

• Diablo 1 does not at all, 12 years old game does not work on the new computer

  Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 with Windows Vista 32-bit, it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 video card. I also have 10 installed Direct x which, according to the manufacturers of my video card is compatible. I ran a test game that was included with the CD and it said that everything is okay. But it is still coming up with this error. "Diablo could not correctly initialize your video card using directX" then it tells me to update my directx which I did. check and update my driver for my graphics card and make sure its compatiable which I did and it's. I've been to Blizzard games, and they said that can not help me and I have to go to the manufacturer of the video card. I went to them and they said because it was a laptop they cannot help me with this and told me to goto, the manufacturer of my laptop that I do at the moment, but if someone had this problem and have any ideas how I can get this race please tell me thanks.

  This game was designed for Windows 95. Of many old games do not work under NT (on XP and Vista) kernel unless you use the emulation such as DOSBox.

  You can try setting the game to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode (click with the right button on the games EXE file, select Properties-> Compatibility tab).

  Otherwise, you will need to install Win95/98 and possibly to use a video card more old since display drivers change so rapidly and drop the old features not more used.

• Is there a way to change my laptop to do an old game to work?

  I had no idea where to post this kind of investigation, so I guessed "general content". I'm sorry to any irritation due to people who know what they are doing!

  When you click the icon for the drive I get the error message-

  «The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.» Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x 86 (32-bit 0 or x 64 (64-bit version of the program 0 and then contact the software publisher.)) »

  In my view, that the software publisher has long been out of business, so no help.

  * Basically, I have very little computer knowledge and have tried everything I can. Is there a simple way in which I can change some things on my computer to make this run, or is it impossible? *

  _Thank you. _

• Windows 7 won't play some of my old games.

  Hello

  I realize there are already a few questions about this and I looked at the answers, but I'm still at a loss! Some of my old games (not all) will not play on Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. For example, the most recent game to deny me a Rainbow Six; Rogue Spear Black Thorn. The game installed fine and when I run it, a small white square appears, followed by the opening of two videos of the game, and then it crashes without reason. I get the message error is simply "BlackThorn.exe has stopped working" with suggestions of audit close program or online for help. If I don't get any message about compatibility issues. I tried to change the compatibility settings for windows XP SP2, which was the last system I was using but not joy. Also tried running as administrator.
  Help!

  Hello

  Some of the old program is not compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows 7. As you mentioned that you have little games, which you can not play, I suggest you to check if the games are compatible.

  Please use the below link to check the compatibility of the game:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If the games are not compatible, you try to install in compatibility mode:

• Try to install the old game of window 95 on my windows 7...

  I have an old windows 95 game called Shivers.  I would like to install on my windows 7, I have home premium.

  I tried a lot of things.
  I tried to click with the right button on setup.exe/properties and making it compatible with different versions, also tried to have windows try and do it for me.
  When I try first to install the game I get the error, not compatible with the 64-bit version.
  After fiddling around, it seems now that the game will start to install, the screen resolution goes down and I get a black window, as I have had with other games when they begin to install.  However then goes black screen and I have nothing :(
  I do not so much, but I've been looking for this game for a long time, I finally found and bought without thinking that he would not be able to run on my system...
  I'm pretty OK with the computer, but when someone answers I need much instruction step by step please.
  Thank you

  (1) it is a 16-bit game and does not work on 64-bit Windows. Reported, it installs and runs with a few minor adjustments * 32-bit XP, Vista and Windows 7 (* compatibility setting: Windows 95, ignore any request for 'system test', set your screen resolution, etc..).

  (2) it MAY be that even a BACK emulator fails to run it because it uses a Sierra-own game engine (SCI) that must be supported, too. It is not included in the list of compatibility of DosBox, and it comes in the ScummVM forums (another emulator BACK) as "pending".

  (3) as a last resort, you can try to install & run the game in a virtual machine. If you have any disk installation for Win 3.1 or Windows 95, the virtual machine would allow you to play the game in the environment he has created. Windows 7 Professional allows you to download a free version of Windows XP Professional SP3 to work with Windows Virtual PC, but use a VM free as MS Virtual PC 2007, VirtualBox, etc. is certainly less expensive (even if you can buy a copy of Win 3.1 or 95).

• Problems running of an old game - Lego Island Xtreme Stunts crashes

  I'm running on Windows 7 and you try to run Lego Island Xtreme Stunts and I get an error message at startup indicating that game.exe broke down. I tried running as administrator, tried all sorts of compatibility modes, and I am lost as to how I can review this old game again.

  I found several references to people who have had your game to work on Windows 7 using the Compatibility Mode for Windows 98/Windows Me. In the Compatibility Mode settings, you can also try different combinations for the parameters (for example - 256 colors). Please see:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  For more details.

  In addition, please note that Windows 7 64 bit (if that's what you have) won't run 16-bit code, unless you use a virtual environment. Your game is old, but I don't know if this restriction applies to it.
