• Try to install the old game of window 95 on my windows 7...

  I have an old windows 95 game called Shivers.  I would like to install on my windows 7, I have home premium.

  I tried a lot of things.
  I tried to click with the right button on setup.exe/properties and making it compatible with different versions, also tried to have windows try and do it for me.
  When I try first to install the game I get the error, not compatible with the 64-bit version.
  After fiddling around, it seems now that the game will start to install, the screen resolution goes down and I get a black window, as I have had with other games when they begin to install.  However then goes black screen and I have nothing :(
  I do not so much, but I've been looking for this game for a long time, I finally found and bought without thinking that he would not be able to run on my system...
  I'm pretty OK with the computer, but when someone answers I need much instruction step by step please.
  Thank you

  (1) it is a 16-bit game and does not work on 64-bit Windows. Reported, it installs and runs with a few minor adjustments * 32-bit XP, Vista and Windows 7 (* compatibility setting: Windows 95, ignore any request for 'system test', set your screen resolution, etc..).

  (2) it MAY be that even a BACK emulator fails to run it because it uses a Sierra-own game engine (SCI) that must be supported, too. It is not included in the list of compatibility of DosBox, and it comes in the ScummVM forums (another emulator BACK) as "pending".

  (3) as a last resort, you can try to install & run the game in a virtual machine. If you have any disk installation for Win 3.1 or Windows 95, the virtual machine would allow you to play the game in the environment he has created. Windows 7 Professional allows you to download a free version of Windows XP Professional SP3 to work with Windows Virtual PC, but use a VM free as MS Virtual PC 2007, VirtualBox, etc. is certainly less expensive (even if you can buy a copy of Win 3.1 or 95).

• Try to install CS 5.5 on a newer computer (Windows 7) and it says "Please restart computer.". Reboot didn't solve anything

  I try to install CS 5.5 on a newer computer and every time that I go through the installation serial number is good (green check, etc.), but then when I perform the installation, told me "Please restart computer.» No error number is just "Please restart." After the restart of 5 or 6 times, I realized that there must be a deeper problem. I made a fundamental mistake (I forgot to disable the serial #) so I returned the original unit and, interestingly, when I reinstalled InD CS5.5 on the old computer, there was no incident. He then proceeds to operate normally and open very well, I disabled the serial # and returned to the new computer. After you install and try again once I got the same message "Please restart computer.".

  It's a license to install several and I put this program on a laptop Win7 (pro) before using the same serial number and had no problems. Now I'm on an Asus desktop running Win7 (at home) and I meet it, you can restart the problem. What is an OS problem? Any ideas of what to try?

  
  Thank you all, I hope that someone can help you.

  I think that you need to clean this machine before you try again, then run the cleanup tool (CS for installation problems cleaning tool |) CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and then run MSconfig and disable all non-essential startup programs before attempting to install again.

  Also, make sure that javascript is enabled. On the start menu, choose Run, and then in the command field type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press ENTER. You should get a confirmation.

• Trouble installing an older game

  I have a longer game that I am trying to install, but I get an "unsupported 16 - bit application" error message: "the program or the function cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions. Contact the software vendor to ask if there is a version compatible with windows 64-bit. »

  Is that what I can do to get this game to play/install on my computer?

  Hello Tasha00,

  Thank you for the feedback.  I have a last option.  You can try to install Virtual PC on your computer.  This will allow you to run another version of Windows on your desktop.  With that you can then install the game in the Windows Virtual PC and run it without any problems.  You will need to have a copy of what ever version of Windows that you want to load on Virtual PC.  For example, you can install Windows XP in Virtual PC, then install the game on Windows XP and run perfectly.  I have included the link below to download Virtual PC 2007.
