Is - this just impoosible to get the keeper of the Dungeon 1 & 2 to run on win 7

I tried to install both of these games in compatibility mode, but nothing helped. Dungeon keeper 2 installs but used to run correctly as the game screen displays really bad if at all, the dk1 wont even install even running under win95 compatibility? I lose all of my time here?

Thanks in advance

Hello

have a. you tried to install the game in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode?

Because these games are too old to work on Windows 7, I would try to install in Windows XP mode.
 
Method 1.
If the game is designed for the operating system, it can work in kernel mode. Let us try install in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode and check.
You can find more information on compatibility modes in the articles below:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-program-compatibility
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
 
Method 2.
Also, you can change the hardware acceleration and locate 2 Dungeon Keeper.
You can also try to change the hardware acceleration in the middle and check.
1. right click on an empty space on the desktop.
2. go in the resolution of the screen.
3. click on advanced settings, then click on the tab "troubleshooting."
4. set the hardware acceleration in the middle. (here you will get the option only if your graphics card supports hardware acceleration).
Method 3.
In addition, if the above steps does not install Windows XP mode on Windows 7 and try these games installation and verification.
Here are a few links that explains about Windows XP mode in Windows 7. We recommend that you download and install Windows XP mode on your Windows 7 computer.
 
 
 
 
 
I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Get the Blitzkrieg II (executer2) to run on Windows 7

    I loaded the game, but it requires a driver any, I think that the manufacturer.  I have a 'report' to the manufacturer, but I can't find anything on the Web of Nival site that tells me where to send the information to get the job of the thing.  Is no hope or what?

    577 error to a DRM conflict points.
    This game came out in ' 05, a very bad year for the DRM (copy protection)
    problems and conflicts with 64-bit operating system (including XP).
    The simplest solution is a noCD patch. You can get one for your game to the
    the link below. Choose the one that fits with the version of the game that you are running
    (Try to patch the game to 1.5).
    http://MegaGames.com/games/Blitzkrieg-2

    The fix for your game has three files that are in the folder of installation of games and maybe a subfolder.
    I usually save the originals by placing them in a new folder in the directory they originate. Corrections may have an additional file, so you can not find an original. In this case, the file normally
    go to the same location as the games .exe.

    With DRM, you can download an updated version of the DRM. Tages has
    an update that works with The Witcher, but not all the benefits of games.
    Tages has the 64-bit update on their website, but I don't know if your game uses Starforce or Tages (the worst DRM of questions).

    Do not pay too much attention to the Windows Compatibility Center. Most post 2000 games and even some earlier are compatible, but there are often issues such as this one. DRM conflicts are most prevalent in games of ' 04-'05. There are other games which are completely compatible and is not DRM issues that are listed in the center of imperfect compatibility as well.

  • Get the mac without VMware tools running address

    I looked to see if there was a way to get the mac address of a virtual machine without VMware tools running.  I know that you can see this information for vSphere gui when you change the material, so I think it would be accessible without VMware tools, but maybe not.

    Does anyone know if/how this is possible?

    Thank you

    Michael

    That's right, you have no need for VMware tools must be installed to retrieve the MAC address, there are other attributes such as host name comments for example which is only available when the tools are installed.

    Take a look at this script to retrieve the MAC address of virtual machines: getAllVMMacs.pl

  • Can not install windows update to KB2656362 get the error code 880070490. Run fix, but it has not fixed the problem.

    Can not fix with fixit.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

    If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

    The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

    If the system update readiness tool solves the problem, you will need repair Windows.

    Of course a repair installation will not solve the problem if it is due to an infection of virus/malware etc.
