How can I get a windows 95 game to play on windows 8

I recently bought the x-wing vs TIE fighter for my PC. It works under windows 95. I tried to put the comparability for windows 95 and run it from setup.exe I saw in a previous post here. However it still does not install launcher. How can I fix?

A Windows 95 program includes 16-bit code. If you have 64-bit Windows 8 cannot run the program: there is no 16-bit subsystem in a 64-bit version of Windows.

  • How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

    I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

    Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network).  It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.

    Help.

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
    should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.
    then recreate the account.

  • I had windows 10 and it crashed my pc. A friend put a test windows 7 on my pc and now it says that it isn't geninue copy of windows. How can I get back windows 7?

    How can I get my windows 7 back, as if it was before? And I have to pay for this?

    Windows 10 crashed my pc, and I need help please

    Claire-

    The PC comes with Windows 7 the plant?  If so there should be a COA sticker on the outside, or under the battery with a product key used to activate.  Also on the label is printed the licensed version.  Now look at control panel > system to confirm page which is the version that has been installed.  If so, scroll down to the activation link to "Change product key" and insert the key to the sticker.

    It is easy to mistake the 25 digit key characters.  What I do is take a picture of the phone and huge blow up, so check each character before submitting the key.

    If Windows 10 had activated, you can also get a facility much better to do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement will be paid to questions of lower upgrade installation, which should reactivate with the permanent right granted once did you the upgrade.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • How can I get my area 51 game xp pc game to work in my pc Windows 7?

    I have a windows 7 Home premium and you tried to run area 51 xp pc from the installation disc game it is start to install it then it said installation wizard was interrupted before installation could be completed, I tried to do mode of compatibility in every thing there, still will not work, how can I get this game to work in my pc windows 7?

    I looked on the internet and so far can not find a way. I don't want to dual boot or something like that, just want the compatibility to work as if it was supposed to in windows seven, I have played other games xp in windows 7 and I want to play this game. any assistance that would get this problem is resolved and my game really to work would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

    I have an e machine with 1.60 gigahertz AMD Athlon II X 2 250u
    256 kilobytes main memory cache
    secondary memory 2048 k-cached
    64-bit ready
    Multi-core (2 total)

    4 GB of RAM.

    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 [graphics card]

    The only games I've found of ' 05 and have a problem with Win7 are due to copy protection.
    StarForce is perhaps the worst, followed by Tages and SecureRom. In most cases, it's a problem with 64 bit (also XP) operating systems.
    In some cases, the game will install and give an error message to the effect that he can't finish, but the game is installed, but the DRM is not.
    Games that use of Tages can sometimes be fixed with their updated 64 - bit
    TAGES protection system against the copy of AAA.

    Some games can be installed on a computer that is 32-bit and copied to the 64-bit machine and will last (not sure in this case).

    Other games will take place with a noCD patch. There is a difficulty noCD Mega games (PC fixed the left column of the home page). The fix of the A51 more complex than most, because it has several files which I assume (do not have the game) all go in the main installation folder with the A51.exe. I usually suggest the original of the .exe (and others) in a new folder for backup before moving the new ones in the games installation folder.

    Then - as suggested by MH, some just are not feasible, or need a Virtual Machine-
    | MG | Download VirtualBox 4.1.10.76836

    In my collection (100 +) there were two - Beyond Good and evil (not the re-release) and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory which I have not found a fix/work around for (I have not tried a VM).

    If there is a fan site for Area 51 there may be fixes available to the community.
    I found an installer 64 bit for Grim Fandango old classics on one of these sites.
