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.
DOSBox, a x 86 emulator with BACK

and this may help with the BACK WINDOW

This can also be useful-

As a result of the emulators BACK you can get stuff Machine virtual too-

Overview of VirtualBox

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.

  • problems with older games using windows

    Why is it that whenever I have try and install a game that requires win95-for win 2000 it does not everything with my windows vista it also I cannot download from disc info for my printer and it's the same question is what can I do to solve this problem

    What games are you trying to install?  It is a good chance that it uses a 16-bit installation program that will ask you to find the setup.exe and run it as administrator to install correctly.  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.

  • Satellite L870 - 16 c - display problems with some games

    Hello

    I bought this laptop recently and it turns out that I have problems with some games of tearing.
    But with all the games, only some of them (ex: the Triune Witcher, borderlands,...).

    So I was wondering what could be the problem?
    So far, I've heard that could be a problem of v-sync, but everything I made this topic has not changed a thing.

    Is this just a software problem or would it be a hardware problem with the graphics card?
    I plan to send my laptop for Toshiba, so I wanted to know if it was the only solution (and if it was indeed a solution).

    For more information, this is a C with an ati radeon HD 7670 L870 m graphics card - 16 (driver version: 12.10 - 130101 a - 151427E - ATI), running on 64-bit windows 8.

    Someone at - it indexes?

    Thank you

    What game problems do you have exactly?
    Could you be more specific?

    You said that you have some problems, but NOT with all the games.
    That is why I don't think you have a hardware problem

    In most of the games (all) cases problems are related to drivers of graphics card in my long game experience, all the questions that I had in the past were related to problems of compatibility between the driver and the game.

    Hi Shlomy,

    1. when exactly you get the error message?
    2. do you have an error message?
    3. are install you authentic version of Babylon?

    This issue would have occurred due to some third-party programs, the origin of the problem. I suggest you perform the clean boot. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

  • I have a problem with photoshop cc in windows 10

    Hello

    I have problems with photoshop cc in windows 10. I am not sure if the problems are related to what windows 19, but certainly, the problems got worse since. (My computer runs on windows 10. At an i7 processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 965 M, the DDR3L 16 gig memory, the GDDR5 2 GB graphics card, a card of 256 GB ssd and 1 TB of hard drive). I don't think it's a problem with my computer.

    I am currently working on a project where I need to cut some parts of the photo, that I will use it later. But I'm having the problem now, some photos displayed as it should. And some are not. They seem to be grey. Or there is some kind of white/gray block above them. It is as if is not available to the loading screen (?). If the object is there, but just does not appear right. I just put a few screenshots here that show the problem. I hope someone can help me with this. Because I can't finish my project with a photoshop which does not work at height.

  • BSOD problems with a computer of windows 8

    Hello. I've had my computer for over a year now, and since about a week after I got it I had several problems with it. Initially, I had problems with usb devices works sometimes not. In this case I have to restart several times hoping to rework them. Over time, that has become less of a problem, but still exists. Then when I play games on my pc as the League of legends and world of warcraft games themselves would break several times. I also had problems with different programs crashing like Skype, google chrome and also blocks flash in chrome. Soon enough my whole system was crashing with BSOD messages or sometimes would be only to randomly restart or freeze.

    Here is a list of the different BSOD:

    irql not less or equal, page fault in nonpaged area, kmode exception not handled, pool header corruption of infrastructure critical bad memory management

    Unexpected kernel mode trap and driver irql not less or equivalent. With several different drivers be blamed.

    Now its to the point where I'll watch a live stream on twitch.tv or a video on youtube and it will crash after a few minutes. It happens more often in these situations, or in game, but it can also happen randomly even if soon as just start or idle.

    I tried many different things to update many pilots to replace my ram and hard drive as well as full reinstalls of windows and system different restore points. I wanted to ask you on this forum about it to see if it has what I can do to solve this problem before I send in for repair because I prefer not to be without him for an extended period of time.

    Thank you for hearing me.

    These accidents were related to the corruption of memory (probably caused by a driver).

    Please run these tests to check your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.


    If you're overclocking (pushing components beyond their design) return you to default at least until the crash is resolved. If you don't know what it is that you're probably not overclocking.

    Since then, it is more likely to be a pilot run everything first.
