I have Marika Odyssey and Relentless Twinsens on CD (these games are also known as the Little Big Adventure and Little Big Adventure 2). I want to be able to play the old games on my Vista computer.

My Vista is a DellDimension DXP061
the system type is a 32-bit operating system

I liked to play these two games, many years ago. the CD has finally broken. I just put once more hold of these two games and was hoping there was a way I could play.

Oh I forgot also. I tried using dosbox, but it doesn't seem to work for my computer. When I tried to use it on LBA I was able to type my name and started the game and it froze quickly.

Hi aminal Merlin,

Most programs written for an earlier version of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program does not work, use the compatibility mode to run these programs.

1. right click on the main game program icon that you want to play in this version of Windows, and then click Properties.

2. click on the Compatibility tab.

3. under "Compatibility Mode", check the box that reads as "run the program in compatibility mode for" and in the drop-down menu, select Windows XP or another previous version of Windows.

4. click on apply and then OK.

5 install the game in compatibility mode and restart once the installation is complete.

Check if this helps you play these games in Windows Vista.

6. for more information on running a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.

  • Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

    ·        My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)

    I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.

    You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.

    This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.

    Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

    You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

  • With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

    New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

    Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

    I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

    Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

    Thank you.

    Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

    Hi mak1006,

    Because you bought 11 Acrobat Pro upgrade, during installation the Setup program will try to find the previous version of qualification you OE and if it does not find one then you prompt to enter the old serial number.

    You must select Acrobat Pro 10 (as it is the product that you owned before) and enter the serial number.

    The installer must recognize and continue the installation process.

    Let me know if you get stuck at any point.

  • During the migration of Firefox since Vista computer on windows 7, personal profile has been lost and I don't know how to restore - Profile Wizard detects no pr

    When data were transferred from my vista computer to the new computer windows 7, firefox profile has not been transferred to the new computer. Because the profile has not been transferred, the Manager profile, or by typing in the default location doesn't give a result. All the info on the website of mozilla that I looked at the way in which the profiles doesn't seem to work. I can probably recover and make a copy of the profile of the old computer, but how do I know where to put it on the new?

    Try to remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new file profiles.ini and a new default profile.

  • Wireless link has disappeared from the Sony laptop, XP, but the link still works on Vista computer. However, Sony can still detect other networks.

    I have a Sony notebook 'dated', XP Professional, Service Pack 3, using a Netgear wireless router. It has worked well for years, but last week, in the middle of a session, I suddenly lost the wireless signal. The router works fine with the other, my Vista computer. The strange thing is that Sony can see other networks in the building and sometimes also my network, but does not connect. When I try to manually connect the connection disappears again.

    Were there an XP update that may possibly be the cause or is there another explanation?

    Hi SveinD99,

    Thanks for posting. The first thing I would recommend you do is go to the website of the manufacturer and the redownload and install driver wireless. I would also contact the manufacturer to see if they have diagnoses of material that they work to test and make sure that the material is healthy and working properly.

    I hope this helps.

The majority of HP products, not supported in Windows Vista are beyond seven years. If you use the Windows Vista operating system on your computer, please consider upgrading to a new HP product that is supported on Windows Vista. »

    Among the products affected by political driver Vista HP include popular ScanJet 3200c ScanJet 3300 and ScanJet 4200 c. HP has promised to release drivers for certain products. However, unless the product is - ish or has been designed with Vista in mind, the number of available functions is likey to be reduced.
