How to install the disc that has already worked with Windows 95/98 in Windows 8?

Hello

I am trying to install an old CD ROM National Geographic on my Windows 8 operating system.  Is this possible or am I barking the wrong tree.  Records say Windows 98/95, between other things necessary to be able to install.  Is it possible to install on my computer or am I out of luck?  I would not lose this set because it is intriguing and entertaining.  Help!

You can try compatibility mode, but if it does not, your best option would be to install on a computer that is running a much older version of Windows such as Windows XP or an earlier version.

Programs designed for earlier versions of Windows such as Windows 98/95 uses 16-bit installers and uninstall programs. This is not supported in 64 bit versions of Windows 8 in all. If you are running a version of Windows 8 bit, 16 bit support is disabled by default, so you need to activate that before trying.

After that, you can try compatibility mode:

  • Installing the L7680 driver will not work with Windows 8.1

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion laptop and updated to 8.1 windows not long after the purchase.  I tried to install my Officejet Pro L7680 all-in-one today and not failed on each attempt.  The driver/software will download but when I try to install the software I get a message of "specified file not found."  I called HP and spoke to a representative who informed me that my printer was too old and that it was not compatible with Windows 8.1 System.  He said there was no update available for my printer and basically I have to buy a new printer.  Wrong answer!

    The issue is a file missing in the folder drivers to preload: Msiexec.exe

    Hi Brent,

    You can try to uninstall last updates window who installed or do a system restore to a point before the updates have been installed and then install updates one by one to see which update is causing the problem.

    Method 1:

    You can read the following article to remove an update.

    Remove an update

    Method 2:

    If you cannot uninstall the updates, then you can try to perform a restore of the system to a prior restore point you have been affected by the issue.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

    System restore

    System Restore: frequently asked questions

    Method 3:

    Try to install updates one at a time to see the update is causing the problem.

    Install Windows updates

    Hope this information is useful.
