Where can I find help for games of "MS Entertainment Pack for WIndows (1990). I can't seem to use them on Windows 7, but it can be used on Windows Vista?

I have been using the following games; Taipei (Majongg tiles), Tetris, Golf (cards) and cruel (maps), which came with MS Entertainment Pack for Windows (1990) and who has worked with every version of MS Windows since 95 Windodws. I can use them with Windows Vista but I can't use them on Windows 7, I really enjoy these games and like to use them in Windows 7 and 8.

"All Microsoft Entertainment Pack games work on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, but this only applies to 32-bit versions. The NTVDM allows 16-bit applications run in 32-bit versions of Windows. In the 64-bit versions of these operating systems are 32-bit applications be run in a compatibility layer in the kernel and layer 16 bit must be rewraped, this is why Microsoft has removed the feature. "(from Wikipedia)

It's true. I tested the games ("Best of Windows Entertainment Pack", similar to the MEP even older) on 32-bit Windows 7, no problem. On Windows 7, 64 bit, they don't work (except if try you heavy workaround solutions like running Windows 3.1 on an emulator of BACK, then using this virtual operating system to run games).

  • Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?

    I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?

    To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate.  If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case.  It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read).  If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download).  You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation.  It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.

    I hope this helps.  If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?

    Good luck!
