When a file is inconsistent how make it compatible?

games like nba 2003 work on earlier versions of windows, but not in basic family win7. and troubleshooting, I came to know that it is incompatible

Given that this game was released in 2003, it is more than likely written for 16 - bit systems. The only way for it to work on Windows 7 is using an emulator BACK like D-Fend Reloaded. This is the best explanation on how to use D-Fend Reloaded.
