I'm trying to run a game in windows 95 compatibility mode, but the compatibility under Properties tab disappeared.

I am running windows 7 Professional. It is not the version of upgrade.

Hi Tippo_89,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

(1) have you been able to use the compatibility feature earlier?

Try the steps below and see if you can run the program.

To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

(1) open the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

(2) follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

Access the link below for more information on the steps below.

  • I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. MFPlat.dll problems

    I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. The game installs properly and is registered. When I start the game it says the the mf.dll and mfplat.dllfiles are absent. I downloaded both of dll.com and install in my system 32 file and file of halo 2. The message I get now is that "point of entry" is missing from the file mfplat.dll.

    Hi, Landon5050,

    If you get to the missing file mf.dll errors or any other errors with the mf.dll file, we suggest that you re-install the program, uninstall and reinstall a newer version, or check to see if updates are available for the program associated with the file instead of trying to copy a new version of the file on the computer. File errors are often caused by more than just a missing or corrupt file and copy a single file could cause more problems.

    http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/process.pl?p=MF.dll

    These dll files exist in Windows, but there are also in the Halo installation directory. The equipped versions of Halo are older and is not compatible with Win7.

    Rename the files in your directory of Halo or replace them with newer versions of your directory %windir%\sysWOW64 or % windir%\system32.
    http://www.computing.NET/answers/gaming/Halo-2-missing-DLL/11709.html

    For re - save these files follow this step:

    1. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

    2. type regsvr32 mf.dll and then press ENTER.

    3. new type regsvr32 mfplat.dll and then press ENTER.

    There is a patch for this game as well. Have you tried to install the patch and check if it helped.

    Here is a link to download the update for this game.
    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/b/0/e/b0ec1acf-8623-4520-9764-75baaffc0718/Update.exe

  • How to run a game in windows instead of the mode mode full screen in Windows 7?

    I can't even my game (Diablo II) to run, unless I put in the properties to run as administrater.  Even with Vista.

    You set the mode in the game options. Each game is different, but usually go to options-> video-> run in windowed mode is generally acceptable way to find. Also, the current older games to run in administrator mode is not something new. Who should almost for older games to install or run correctly.

    Some games do not have this option, some are not at stake, some you have to do by using a shortcut with parameter - window like: C:\Program files\blizzard\diablo\diablo.exe-fenetre or something.

    Good luck.
