Can I use a game made for Windows 95 on a Windows Vista system?

The game installed, but it does not work.

Could Hmm, you tell me what game is it? Maybe I can find a specific solution to the game. For example with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D a modified executable will have to come into play.
Another solution might be to try other modes, such as Windows 98 and Windows XP Compatibility Mode. Windows XP will have the highest chance of success. Do not forget to have lots of files as possible running in compatibility mode, otherwise from different parts of the application is running in different ways.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: can I use the same drivers for windows 8 and 8.1

    When I check in drivers which operating systems there are drivers available for my Hp Envy 14-2090eo, it says Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit), "and im currently using Windows 7 64 bit" but does that mean the drivers to support these 2 Windows 8 and 8.1 of Windows operating systems, said in a different way "» : are the same drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1?

    Best regards from hpenvy1

    Hello:

    Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

    It is unlikely that the W8 AMD graphics driver will work on W8.1.

    Normally, you can use some of the drivers W7/W8 on W8.1, but the graphics is very doubtful - not switchable graphics anyway.

    You can run the windows 8.1 upgrade wizard and see what it reports.

  • Windows 7 will not work a game made for windows XP

    Hi, I'm trying to run an old game designed for XP, and it doesn't seem to begin.

    The game is: Harry Potter Quiditch World Cup.

    The game installed perfectly, but at startup, it crashes without black screen.

    After playing with the compatibility mode, with multiple changed settings.

    We get a black screen, making it appear as if it will launch.

    About 15 seconds, it crashes even when.

    Statistics of the computer:

    Monitor: 60hrtz, 1920x180p

    Processor: AMD FX 4300

    GPU: Nvidia GT610 (Directx11)

    If you have an idea why it doesn't work, let me know!

    Thanks for the help.

    I don't know if it will work for you, but I had the same problem once and I found that if I turned off my antivirus and redownloaded my game and changed the compatibility to xp before installing my game worked perfect.

    Your installation reports that it is authentic - but you have a cached validation failed.

    Try a manual validation to www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate

    If she passes (and should be) you will be offered IE9 and MSE - you don't have to take them!

    [edit]

    I have just re-ckecked the key - and it's for an ASUS computer.

    You must purchase a legal Win Ultimate, or go back to the original OS that came with the computer using the manufacturer's recovery disks.
