Running retro game Windows XP

Hi guys, I have Windows XP, I bought a Gabriel Knight game, that has the command D:\Sierra\GKCD to play, is this BACK? I've never done this before, is it safe to run it?  If it is safe to run and how to return to my XP running the system? Is it something stupid to do, or is - this usual? Thank you in advance for your help, you are so good.

You need DOSBox to run it.

    Hi alecfss,

    Well, I don't think that it is possible to play games Windows 95 to Windows 7.

    1. When you mention "install a second operating system", are you referring to the installation of a program, something of the stature of the virtual XP 95 games?

    In this case, download and install Virtual XP , from this link and run Windows 95 games that is better equipped to manage the games for windows 95/98.

    2 Alternatively, are you referring to the installation of an operating system to dual boot?

  • Cannot run computer games of Casino II - CD is compatible but the program will not open and run.

    System shows that Casino games II is compatible with the system.  Always impossible to get from the program.  My system is 64 requires 32 to run.

    Hi Donna,.

    The CD yourself that run other games or programs - in essence, are CDs recognized beiing and works in general?  When you insert the CD, the Windows Explorer recognizes it as being there and you are able to explore the folders and files of the CD?  That is the only question when you click Run, it won't work?  Are you sure that it can run from the CD?  Maybe it should be installed on the hard disk of the computer or installed on the computer instead of clicking on run from CD.

    Another option is to contact the manufacturer of Casino II games and see if their technical assistance service or other technical support options can help you with this problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hi Merlot_1984

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I suggest that you try to run the game as administrator and verify.

    Right-click on the game, and then click Run as administrator.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you perform the clean boot, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Let me know if it worked.

  • Everytime I turn on my Nvidia 3d vision in a game windows 7 hangs with a memory manager blue screen.

    I have all the drivers up to date. 3d vision works very well when installing using the installation software but will not work with any game.

    Hi fubared259,

    This seems to be a common problem with Nvidia 3D vision.

    As for now I suggest to uninstall the drivers completely from the computer and reinstall it from the link below and see if that helps.

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_3D_vision_winvista_win7_CD_1.10.html

    As a work-around, if you have 64-bit Windows 7 just right click on drive Nvidia 3D and make solving the compatibility problems and run as a Windows XP Service Pack 3 and see if it works.

    If the problem is not resolved I suggest you to contact support from Nvidia for the same thing.

    Access the link below to support Nvidia.

  • Run the game as administrator, which causes my software logitech setpoint not responding.

    OK, there are a few games that I can play if I run as administrator.  I wish I could just run them without any problem.  Secondly, when I play my games (run as admin) my setpoint software for my mouse Logitech G5 no longer works and my settings for my mouse do not work as they are supposed to set.  I also use Ventrilo voice server to communicate with my friends, which complicates things more.  I found the following will work, but it is RIDICULOUS that I have to do this.
    1] game as administrator, then out of alt - tab on the desktop.
    [2] run ventrilo as administrator, and then alt - tab out to the desktop.
    [3] then run set as administrator, and then alt - tab back to the game.
    everything works as before in winxp at this stage.  but it's crazy that I have to do this if I want to play my games!  First of all, I don't understand why I have to run the game as administrator all the time... I am completely convinced my games.  Second, point to load at startup of windows7, so when I want to play my game, I have to close the set point and follow the procedure above.

    Help!

    Yes, it's the right thing to do for Windows 7. Step 2 described by Shinmila H. is for Windows Vista. UAC has changed and the 'use access control user (UAC) to help protect your computer"option no longer exists in 7.

    Also, if you want to keep UAC, you may be able to bypass your problem by changing the setpoint utility and Ventrilo administrator automatically mode point.

    (1) open the start menu, click all programs, go to the startup folder to locate the shortcut of Logitech Setpoint

    (2) right click on the shortcut, click Properties and click the Compatibility tab, then check the box "Run as Administrator".

    (3) locate your Ventrilo shortcut or executable and do the same (right click ==> compatibility ==> run as administrator).

    (3) restoration UAC return the cursor to the top one or two notches, and then restart the computer and check if everything works

    My guess is that any game that you run in administrator mode will refuse the entry of any software that does not have the same privileges. The trick above works for me with the set point, but I'm not sure of Ventrilo (do not use).

    Step 2 and 3 above just automatically happen that you perform with ALT-tab on the office.

    Otherwise if you don't care about having UAC, just keep this option disabled.

  • video monitor error is not compatible with this game - which can change in the settings on my netbook to run this game

    How can I change the settings to run a game on my netbook Windows xp... video monitor error is not compatible with this game.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, most netbooks do not have the resolution of the screen (or the graphics hardware) necessary to run graphics intensive games. Your best bet would be to run the game on a more powerful machine with a larger screen, or alternatively, as last resort try connecting an external monitor.
