Starting problems old application. Compatibility does not work!

Hello, recently, I decided to play a game of old (since 1999). When I instaled Pharaoh (the name of the game), it is no problem. However, I tried to install the expansion pack (Cleopatra) and I can't. I tried all the possible modes of compatibility, but it does not work. I started installation and the Task Manager indicates that he's begun, but I can't see and exploit. Help, please!

There seems to be no definitive solution not working on all pc systems. Two Councils (which may or may not work on your system) seem reasonable, at least:

(1) install and run (both!) Pharao and expansion in "compatibility mode: Windows 2000 ', in 'administrator '. This is because the way the operating system accesses the CD/DVD drive has changed in the meantime. This recommendation will not work in combination with some specific drivers for the hardware (motherboard, chipset), you'll know when you try it.

(2) and, more likely, it's a question of copy protection. This is because the combination of Pharao + Cleopatra expansion seems to work without problems when installing a release where they are not be installed separately (Pharao gold) and with 'barely legal' distributions where the copy protection has been removed from the plan. A more legitimate way to achieve the same might be this one:

"Install the game on another computer and patch if necessary. Copy the games appear on an external usb/disc key or burn it to a DVD.
Copy the folder on the computer where you want to play the game. Create a shortcut to the exe of games on the desktop. To start the game, insert a CD in the drive, close the popup window and start the game by using the shortcut on the desktop.
For your legal stay don't forget to uninstall the game again on the other computer (it can only be installed on one computer at a time) and also from the external hard drive unless you select to play the game directly from her instead of copy on it. The game cannot be played directly from a DVD because the game is impossible to record data such as backups. "(http://caesar3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/caeforumscgi/display.cgi?action=ct&f=9, 7578, 20)

This procedure would allow the good old copy of 'CD in the drive?' system check and, therefore, to launch the game normally.

  • Problem AnyDVD update 'AnyDVD does not work on your operating system'

    For many years, I used a system called 'AnyDVD '. Today I received a memo to update to the latest version I've done dozens of times in the past.
    This time, however, I have download the new item and click on "run" the file, I get a pop-up window indicating. "AnyDVD does not work on your operating system. .....
    I'm no computer expert so I don't have any idea what to do... I tried a system restore to a few days, but that did not help.
    In the meantime, the previous version of AnyDVD still works as always. How can the old system works but now an update does not work on my operating system. That makes no sense.

    Thanks for the comments... But does not apply to this problem. AnyDVD has free updates. Problem was somewhere in the system and can be corrected within 24 hours and was able to update with no further incident. Still a mystery, but is no longer a problem.
