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.

  • 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.

    is typically a way to avoid the permissions problems, but can also help with installing

  • Problems with importing photos using Windows - Photo files are corrupted in the Gallery windows

    I use Windows to import images from my camera (Canon Rebel EOS) to the computer (HP) and display them in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Recently, the photos in the Gallery become corrupt once downloaded, which means they download fine then when I open "Images" to see in the Gallery, they photos each are corrupted with ribbons of various colors, or the image is cut into strips to compensate.  It didn't happen when I uploaded the same photo files to another computer so I know that is not the fault of the camera or individual files.  I scanned for a virus (I use AVAST).  Can I fix this, or is there any other software I should use to download files?  I'm just a MOM ol ' ordinary looking to transfer the zillions of photos that I take my children.  Help!

  • 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.

I have all the dates of the last mounted and I roughly 1 000 000 errors page an hour and the hard drive of my computer is crazy with me doing nothing. Norton has been included in the software package supplied with the computer. so I hope that support you. What can I do to calm my computer runs to stop this service... I have also about 500 000 for the service dwm.exe. What could cause this?

    Hi dude, on average

    A. from when what happens?

    B. recent changes made on your computer?

    C. you get any error message?

    First of all, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Norton using the Norton Utilities disk and check if the problem persists.

    Second, you may have to perform an auditor of the system files on your computer in order to replace the files corrupted on your computer.

    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  • 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.
