    1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
     
     
    Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
    The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
     
     
    Method 1.
    We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
    If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
    Method 2.
    If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.
    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

    I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)

    Hi Bcopeland,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.

    Compatibility Center

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    a. click right on the program.

    b. click Properties.

    c. click on the tab compatibility.

    d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.

    Here is an article that gives you more information on this:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Firefox worked, today has not started with the error the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are using.

    Computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Firefox has work fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing has been changed or updated updated except Windows update indicates that it installed updates on August 19. I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August. I suspect the update, Windows or FF but lean towards windows, which was spent, who broke things. I noticed that IE 10 updates, updates of .NET framework and the malicious software removal tool have been installed. I tried to restart the computer, has not set. Tried to run as administrator, did not work. I don't want to uninstall FF, at least have to because of all the things I have here, bookmarks, last past passwords, etc..

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Hi kirsteenie,

    1 Windows operating system you are using?

    2. you use 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows?

    16-bit applications are not supported in 64-bit Windows versions.

    If you use Windows 7, then you can install Windows XP mode and then install the game in XP mode and check if you can play the game or not.

    You can view the following link to use Windows XP mode:

    Note: Windows XP mode will run only in Windows 7 Professional, full and business editions.
