Impossible to get Oregon Trail 2 to install on my Windows 7 PC

Whenever I try to install the track to the Oregon 2 (from the CD), it gives me an error message indicating that it is not compatible. I tried to change the compatibility mode, and it didn't work. Any suggestions? I can get the first screen to appear and ask if I want to install it. Website of the MECC game producers went also, so I can not any support on their part help!

Hi Eby14,

You tried compatibility mode, but you did not mention if it is Windows XP or WIndows Vista compatibility mode.

If you have not tried the other, then I would have to try.

Reference:

Make older programs in this version of Windows

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

Try this and check:

1 copy the contents of the game on the hard drive

2. right click the installer and select the compatibility mode

You can also disable all security software and then try to install the game, follow the steps mentioned below

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

Note: activate all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.

If disabling security software is little help, disableUser Account Control (UAC) and then try to install the game.

Note: Microsoft does not recommend users to disable the UAC settings for security reasons.

    What version of Windows 7 do you have? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Have you tried HP support? According to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=214599&prodTypeId=15179&objectID=c01909569 here, there is limited support for the 8250 under Win7, which is their way of saying, it may or may not work.

    You can get the driver from here http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=214604&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=214599&taskId=135 . Simply choose your version of Win7.

    Many HP products are very picky with their installation procedures. I found that the instructions must be followed strictly in the order as listed, or there may be a problem. If the software has already been installed, it is sometimes best to uninstall it, and then try again. Unfortunately, since most of the documents, it seems the 8200 series was designed more for Mac and Windows.

    I wish you only good luck :-)

  • Can't get my J470DW brother to install on my Windows 7, help!

    I just bought a new printer Brother. The installation went well until it asked me to plug in the USB cable. then he came to a sudden stop! It is said that my drivers were not installed. Sometimes he says that there is not enough storage space on my computer, which is bullshit because I'm not even using half of my storage space again?

    That's what I tried:

    1. I did troubleshooting on my computer of sorts, no luck.
    2. I called brother, no help, except to say that I should get a new USB cable, that I'll take tomorrow and try, but my only current was working fine before smoking so don't know why it would suddenly have on me?
    3. I called Microsoft and the woman ran a sort of scan just to tell me I had the damaged files and need to pay them $159 or something like that to have an advanced technician fix, I refused.
    4. I ran my own analysis on the command line: chkdsk /R and no problem seemed to be detected...
    5. I am very close to take the printer back where it came from... help!

    I really need some help from someone there... I still think this is a simple problem that someone will know how to fix easily because they know how... Thank you.

    Try to download the drivers and installation.

  • Impossible to get Trio A1000 MP3 player to work with Windows XP Pro

    I have an A1000 Trio MP3 player and have a problem trying to download MP3s to it. The computer recognizes the device and says it's working properly, but I see no activity when I try to download MP3s to the unit. I've updated Windows Media Player to Media Player 11, but still have playback in Media Player: "Device Connect" when I try to synchronize files with the mp3 player.
    Any suggestions?

    Your Trio is plug-and-play. So, go into Device Manager and uninstall all your USB hubs.

    Re-start.

    XP will be re-installed the necessary software automatically. Once everything has "calmed down", plug your Trio. XP will install the software (again).

    You should then be able to sync.

    No: If you have any USM devices that need to install specific drivers, just plug their and XP will do what is necessary. If not, install them manually.

    If this does not work, go back to WMP10, then re-install WMP11.

    See you soon,.

  • Is there a way to get my iMac 2007 to install 64 bit Windows 10?

    I need to partition again.

    I have Widows Vista and upgraded to widows 10 but it is 32-bit.

    Updates that I need for the software I use requires more space on the platform, which I love, as well as the requirement for 64-bit safer.

    I'm an architect and use Revit.

    Revit works with Windows 10 32-bit level but Revit has been improved and now need 64-bit.

    Windows Vista is no longer. Windows 10 is the and all other windows... (Imitation of Apple have I just said that) OK, seriously... I need help

    Yes, I could go back to an earlier version of Revit and an outdated version of Windows but that in not my preference and I want to stay with Tech. In fact I don't even know if Vista is sold and more. I don't like either.

    I'm a Mac user (for those who know just what this little statement). There is no chance that I 'go back' to the computer.

    My 2007 is great it works really well.

    I'm running the latest OSX El Capitan.

    I need just to accept the updates to 2017 Revit and windows 10 64-bit...

    Please tell me it can be done without having to buy a new computer.

    I don't think anyone can tell you that. Although you can run W10 as a virtual machine which is not possible on your iMac, the performance would be terrible. Would need you at least 4 GB of RAM and 6 GB would be better. But try to run Windows 10 and Revit on an older iMac of 9 year running El Capitan would be very problematic.

    Hmm, what operating system are you using?
    Was - this operating system preinstalled by Toshiba?

    Please take a look in the BIOS. There should be HDMI settings. Please check if it is enabled.
    In addition, I would recommend checking the graphics card driver update.
