I sent a question regarding an older game. I forgot to name it. It is a based win95 game called "timon and Pumba games jungle.

wondering if there is a x 86 or x 64 to windows 7 Edition family thing. the operating system comes up with that when I try to install the game. said that I need it. I thought that windows that had in its directories.

There is nothing of x 86 / x 64 for Win7, but old games often use a 16-bit installation program that is not
compatible with a 64 bit OS. 16-bit setup programs are compatible with a 32 bit OS.
-Some old games which is Direct X and use a 16-bit installation program often runs on Win7
If they are copied from a 32-bit computer in Win7 64-bit machine.

-A game of Win 95 may a DOS game based. If this is the case, it may need BOX BACK to run in Win7.
DOS based games will always be an installer of 16tbit (I think).
The link below includes BOX of DOX and a user interface to help with the installation of the games in BOX BACK.
D - Fend Reloaded: overview

Dual boot with XP or a virtual machine running are two other options for these games from before 2000.

Some games have fan sites with patches, such as 32-bit installers (namely:-Grim Fandango) and for other issues like the problems of color (IE - Diablo 2).

And finally, and most importantly - good old games has lots of old favorites for as little as $5 - install
DOX box automatically, and other games with the deleted (legally) copy protection
in order to avoid various DRM problems which arise from time to time.

  • Older games won't let me install them.

    I recently bought a new laptop running windows 8 x 64 and I love it. My only complaint is that I have several older games, I would still like to enjoy but I constantly run into the same error, no matter the game I try to install. Its always the same compatibility error.

    The two games in question work perfectly well on Windows 7 x 64. All that I ask is if there is a way I can run these games or if I have to go back to an older operating system for them power to be installed.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Yes, another question regarding the freezing of Safari - EtreCheck report included

    Yes, another question regarding the freezing of Safari.

    From a little over a month (I think), Safari started freezing regularly whenever I want to open new tabs or switch between tabs. I found myself to leave the program several times per day / hour. I can't identify any specific common cause (other than my MacBook being old) or any new software or updates that might have initiated the question. At first I thought he might have many tabs, I tried to open, but recently it happens even with only a few tabs open.

    I worked through the steps I found in this forum and others: empty the cache, start in safe mode, etc nothing works.

    Based on the previous suggestions, I have downloaded and run EntreReport which I included below. The note and maybe just a distraction, but EntreReport has crashed three times tonight, before he was able to produce the sub report. I ran the report after restarting my system with no other programs running.

    Suggestions are welcome at this stage because I want to start using Chrome or Firefox because I like the transfer procedure between my devices.

    Thank you in advance.

  • . What I have to buy windows 95/98 or y at - it a newer version which will still play older games?

    Original title:

    Windows 95/98

    Hello

    I currently have an Apple. There are a few games, I used to play (i.e. Rollercoaster Tycoon) which are mainly Windows 95/98.

    I have considered buying a less expensive to play PC. What I have to buy windows 95/98 or y at - it a newer version which will still play older games?

    I read a blog that says Windows 8 would not work with most, but perhaps Windows 7. I tried many different ways to play games on the Apple and in some cases, I can play them, but it will eventually stopped my computer during registration or something of that kind.

    Any suggestions? Of course, a suggestion at low cost is nice instead of buying a new computer.

    Good luck finding a windows 95 or 98.

    You'll have to do some research on Google or in the game forums to see what o/s these games could work. But I wouldn't count on much of this old games.

  • Play older games.

    Can games that run on Windows 98 / 2000 / Me / 95 played on Windows 7?

    Thank you

    Some can, some can't.

    W7 a compatibility modes which help some older games running, so with a bit of violin some possible to run, even if they do not work by default in W7.

    Is based on the game.

    Also, see this site - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx and enter the game you are interested in. Not all games are listed, but are a bit.

    Finally, check with the manufacturer of the game, as some may issue patches for W7 occasionally.

  • Use WMP to play audio files of older games triggers the Crash game

    I have a game more Microsoft called Age of Empires. The game has some cool sound effects, I went into the game directory and played some of the sounds with Windows Media Player. Now when I try to play the game, it crashes when these sounds are triggered.

    I learned that WMP adds a kind of coding for audio files when he plays, and that older games such as Age of Empires do not include this extra info so when the game tries to play the sounds, it crashes.

    I tried to uninstall the game completely and put it back and even delete audio files and their replacement, but he did not set. It is only the sounds that I played on WMP that cause the game to Crash, all the sounds I was not playing on WMP still work fine.

    Can you please tell me how to resolve this.

    Hi Halima,

    Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve the problem in a different way. I open each file with a program (I use Adobe Audition) for audio editing, you click Save under and saved all of the audio files as new mp3 files, crushing & replace the original files. I did it in bulk by opening all the audio files at the same time and choosing "save all".

    This seems to have removed the additional coding added to audio files in Windows Media Player and the game can play these audio files when triggered.

    That said, I do not understand why crushing & replacing the mp3 files fixed the issue so that the uninstall & reinstall the game does not - this method of relocation removed all files of game (including all audio files) and replace them with the original from disk files, but still they cannot be triggered by the game. Maybe the computer recognized them somehow as the same files that WMP had altered and automatically change them again. Very strange.

    Thank you

    David

  • I have installed Medal of Honor Airborne which is an older game, but my computer telling me video is not supported? I can run world of warcraft catylism and assassain credo. So why used it let me run an older game?

    Is there a way to pass the video problem, and why it would run newer games better but not older.

    Have run you it in compatibility mode - see here how:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Your graphics card is compatible with Windows 7 and if it's that you have installed the latest Windows 7 drivers for it?

    If you post back, include the brand & model of your graphics card.

    Before upgrading your operating system in the future, you should always check first that your hardware & software is supported.

    As for why older games work but more recent ones, it simply technologies change & improve. To activate do this finally older software & hardware becomes obsolete. While I don't agree with everything they do, Microsoft provided Compatibility Mode Windows 7 to help with this problem and the XP Mode in Windows 7 Professional and ultimate versions.

  • Down computer when I play older games

    Driver ATI Radeon HD 5800 is blocked (I tried updates research said its date too) when I play older games like assassin creed, star wars jedi knight jedi academy. Just got this computer last month. I tried the Troubleshooting compatibility so many different times and always the older games I play the crash. pls help

    The best thing I can say that each of you is to wait for the best drivers for your video card, because your problems are the result of video card drivers.  The latest drivers I tried to fixed ATI actually a graphic error I had with one of my games on Windows 7.  I always use Vista ultimate 64 as my main OS because I lose some features I love when you go to Win 7.  But other that some problems of video card drivers, I've not really had no problems with Windows 7. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • I have a screen scrambled when you try to play master of Orion II. It is an older game, but works well with Windows Vista. Any ideas what to try?

    3. Select the video card device and right click on it

My email is with bellsouth.net and comes in my computer through windows Messaging.  I spent an hour and a half on the phone with bellsouth, and they say that the problem is with my windows mail.  I tried to use a restore date, and that did not help either. I will post a copy of this message, as I keep getting.  Your server suddenly put an end to the connection. The possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Object 't', counts: 'mail.bellsouth.net', server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800CCC0F thanks for any help.

    Sometimes, WinMail settings get screwed up and you must remove the account and then add it back back.  Make sure first that the antivirus software not interfere (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).   Delete your account completely, then close WinMail.  Then compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Add your account to mail back once again, and then make sure you have the correct settings under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers and | Advanced to what AT & T Specifies to WinMail (or OE).  Then see if it works.

  • Older games causes rundll32.exe to open and 100% CPU usage

    Gameux.dll, Rundll32.exe, the CPU usage and no internet! : D what a pleasure!

    From some (mostly older) games rundll32.exe causes opening with Gameux.dll and is 100% of the CPU usage. I know that it's because she's trying to connect to internet, I did not. What is my alternative to make my games work again! I want to delete game explore all together, but Microsoft didn't really care to add such an option. If I can't find out tomorrow night, I'm going to start in a 2nd OS and delete the dll, and if Win7 stops working, I will be switching back to Windows XP.

    All the solutions!

    I thought it was a pretty well known problem that the Games Explorer does not work in offline mode? He opened Rundll32.exe to run Gameux.dll and idling with 100% use of a nucleus. I think that this problem has been around since the beginning of Windows Vista (or at least since the dawn of Windows 7, not tried this problem under vista).

    WHAT, for anyone reading this in the future (Google or otherwise), I found a Solution. (Not a pretty, I take no responsibility, but it worked twice for me).

    I went into the registry (Regedit.exe)
    CTRL + F (find)
    Looking for the GameUX,
    and whenever she finds one, I deleted it. excluding results within areas such as "{xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}", no need to remove those. but all other entries GameUX, including directories (not sure of the term suitable for registry entries)

    Anyway, long story short, I fixed it by removing each entry in registry GameUX that I could find. all games work now, even offline! : D

  • I have several older games, I like to play, they are Compatible, not compatible.

    Original title:

    Compatible, not compatible.

    Win7 home 64 bit. OEM

    I have several older games, I like to play. Age of Empires II, StarCraft Original, Empire Earth.

    Everything to Win98SE and XP.

    I can get to install, but the games will only play in resolution 800 x 600. If I try to change the resolution, that the game will crash or system will freeze.

    The video is of very poor quality. And games is jerking.

    I tried compatibility mode, but there is no change.

    This PC has two HDs. not connected at the same time. We got Win7. The other has XP.

    The MB, graphics card, Ram is the same used on the two OSs.

    I just unplug a HD and the other.

    So with everything the same. Why the games perfectly preform on the hard drive on XP but not on the HD Win7?

    The two HDs are the same brand and size. Just different OS.

    Only thing I see is XP is 32 bit and Win7 64 bit. So, I guess that 64-bit is not backward compatible.

    Boss thank you very much for your answer.

    I do not 'Dual Boot'. I don't have that one BONE is connected at a time because of the problems of the past with the new OS, creating a sort of chaos with the operating system older. It seems to work a heck of a lot better that way. Neither OS has no memory of the other.

    I seem to have understood "Empire Earth" works pretty well.

    I read another post of similar problem. The answer was to install the game via the open/explore the game CD and clicking on the 'Setup.Exe' instead of using the "Auto install".

    The game is loaded without a problem and works well with the Nvidia card. The graphics are excellent.

    I'll try the same method on other games. I hope that it will work with the same great results.

    Thanks again for your concern and Advisor.

  • Problems with older games on Windows 7

    I have an older game that was made for 95/98, and it worked on my xp computer still. But it doesn't work on my computer 7. I've installed several times, even tried the program in the programs of control panel controls made for earlier versions of windows, but it does not work with either. It displays this error message indicating Incorrect path in an INI file. Do you have any suggestions for me? This disc is also in good condition. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

    Win 95/98 games is getting a little old for Win7. If you are using 32 bit Win7 your chances are better with 64abit, but if there is no miracle on fan sites then you will probably need BOX BACK.
    I have not really used these myself. Did not have much interest in return that far into my story.

    I think the games fill your installation and this message appears when
    you try to launch.
    I don't know what to do on the paths of INI files.  Where are the files INI for the game/s in games install folder or My Documents? Are the 'target' and
    "Start in" paths correct (in the properties of the shortcut)?
    I can contribute to install in one location other than the default - Program Files (x 86).
    You can create a new folder in C:\ and make a sub folder for games in that,
    or better, use another Partition or a HARD drive if you have one available. This method
    is typically a way to avoid the permissions problems, but can also help with installing
    or problems with some older games running.

  • A few questions regarding the audit

    Hi all



    Greetings. I have a few questions regarding the audit.


    1. how to enable auditing for create table and truncate table by a user?

    SQL> audit table by schema_name;
    
    Audit succeeded.
    Fact the knowledge of the above: http://psoug.org/reference/auditing.html

    This succeeded. But when I actually created a table, it does not reflect in the dba_audit_trail;


    Do I have to use the number of action by and then combine it with another table to populate the create table/truncate table?


    2. How can I check what all auditing has been activated so far?


    Please suggest me. I am unable to follow the audit to create and truncate.


    Concerning
    KK

    In the above article that I mentioned earlier it said check the dba_audit_trail table.

    COLUMN username FORMAT A10
    COLUMN owner    FORMAT A10
    COLUMN obj_name FORMAT A10
    COLUMN extended_timestamp FORMAT A35
    
    SELECT username,
           extended_timestamp,
           owner,
           obj_name,
           action_name
    FROM   dba_audit_trail
    WHERE  owner = 'AUDIT_TEST'
    ORDER BY timestamp;
    
    USERNAME   EXTENDED_TIMESTAMP                  OWNER      OBJ_NAME   ACTION_NAME
    ---------- ----------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------------------------

    Have you reviewed this table?

    Alternatively, you can consult the table of dba_stmt_audit_opts.

  • Question regarding tablespace TEMP and the o/s file associated with.

    Hello

    I want to write a simple query that returns the existing storage space and files that are part of each tablespace.

    I tried the script / query:
    col tablespace_name format a15
    col datafile_name   format a35
    col MB              format 999999
    col "CreateSize MB" format 999999
    
    --
    -- following two queries present only to show the problem I'm running into
    --
    
    select ts#
         , name
      from v$tablespace;
    
    select ts#
         , name
      from v$datafile;
    
    --
    -- this ALMOST works
    --
    
    select t.name tablespace_name
         , t.bigfile
         , d.name datafile_name
         , d.bytes/(1024*1024) MB
         , d.create_bytes/(1024 * 1024) "Create Size MB"
      from v$tablespace t
      join v$datafile   d
     using (ts#)
    ;
    The last query fails to display the files associated with it and the TEMP tablespace.

    Question: what tables should I ask to get a complete picture (one that is not lack of TEMP and its files)?

    Thank you for your help,

    John.

    V$ tempfile

    dba_temp_files

    Here you get a temporary tablespace.
