Windows 95/98 games on windows 7?

We got a new computer for Christmas. It's windows 7, 64 bit.

I have some older games (Myst, reader Rabbitt, boat Fisher price Pirate (and a set of discovery farm) and malice.)

All these games have been makde for windows 95. I can't install on the new copmputer. I get the error message that the drive is not compatible with my version of windows I'm running.

Is there a patch for this? Thank you!

If everything fails, you can always try to run the games via an emulator LIKE DOSBox (www.dosbox.com) or ScummVM (www.scummvm.org). The games you mentioned are Windows 3.1 games and 64-bit Windows cannot run 16-bit applications natively. It can run emulators because they are 32-bit programs. "192GO should be enough for everyone."

I can play any game on windows 10 after I installed it via bootcamp or only some games? my friend says I do not meet the min requirements, but it is biased when it comes to Apple products, so I would like to know some people who really know what they are talking about instead please.

    You can run any Windows program, including the games, so that your machine meets the requirements of the application in question. Once install BootCamp and Windows installation, you actually turn your Mac into a Windows PC. Find the requirements for the game you want to run and compare them to the spec of your machine.

  • 2340dx (Pavilion g7): HP Games - is available in Windows 10 Solitaire?

    I'm ready to upgrade Windows 8.1 to 10.  I want to 'clean' by making a 10-install that erases all personal & apps, but...

    It is my mother, and she likes to play Solitaire which is preinstalled 'HP Games' on the 2340dx.  If I do a clean install, is there a way to download HP games (from hp.com) that runs in Windows 10?  Or, if instead, I install with the will to "keep the applications and personal files" that maintain HP Games, and he will work to win 10?  Or, to let him run must alone we keep 8.1?

    Update: I have just web-searched "windows solitaire 10 ' and MS includes their Collection of Solitaire with Win 10. (they removed it to Win 8)  So, I don't keep 8.1, which was the #3 Option.  But I still want answers for the first 2 options.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Solitaire game isn't at HP, it's a game of Microsoft. You can use Windows Store to install Solitaire on your Windows 10. I do not install on our Windows 10 laptop computers but on our Windows 10 phones.

    Kind regards.

  • Qosmio X 500-10 X returns to windows during games

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio X 500 - 10 X running 64-bit windows 7, and for some reason any it frequently and in a way repeated returns to windows all in game. The reason is unknown, but it seems that something in windows is attracting attention to itself, but there are no alerts or additional icons in the task bar visible once back in windows. In addition, some games can be very difficult to return only once in windows.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Pogo games window is cut only in Firefox

    I tried the suggestions and in all cases, the playroom at any game pogo does not show full screen. I had used pogo for 2 years with no problems.
    Normally the window opens but the screen seems cut about 1 "on the right side and 1" from the bottom. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox and did not help. I updated and checked all shockwave and java, adobe, and everything is up-to-date - still no help.
    I tried the same page of pogo in Internet Explorer and it worked perfectly, so it is not my computer. I'm not a fan of IE and certainly don't want to start using this browser because there is a bug - but can someone understand something? No matter what? I even tried the pogo suggestions: screen resolution and that did not help either.

    Please help - thanks.

  • How to get Skype calls to overlay full-screen games in windows 10

    Hi.Here is my problem: in Windows 10, while I'm in a game session full screen, if someone calls me on Skype, instead of a small window centered to answer the call on the current game I get a black screen. In windows 7, it wasn't the case, I could just answer of in the game, just by clicking on the small window that overlayied the game and continue playing happily. I know that it's more a problem of Windows 10, but if we could get Skype to work stacking game would be nice, especially since a black screen on you the current game session is very dissruptive.

    Well, I tried anyway, but I don't think it could be fixed, because in windows10 any notifications get you a black screen, in some cases, it crashes the game (all within a game fullscreen).

  • Satellite A300: resolutions of 1280 x 800 - game running in the small window

    My computer's resolution is 1280 x 800.
    When I opened a play on 640 x 480 or 1024 x 768 it opens in a small end its surrounded by a black screen screen.

    If I put my computer on 1024 x 768 resolution I can run games on any resolution without problems.
    If anyone has the same problem as me or can help me please write me.

    Painvin my computer is TOSHIBA A300 with Windows Vista Edition operating system Home Premium and my chipset Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family.

    I think that's not a problem or computer failure.
    The fact is that the resolution of the game could be set to 1024 x 768 Max and if the display resolution is higher (1280 x 800), then the game will be displayed in the small window, 1024 x 768

    Graphics card driver Intel supports an option called proportions which would allow a full view without all the blocks all in game.

    As far as I know this can be found in the control panel-> Intel GMA graphics card

    Which driver do you have exactly? You should try the new driver to display on the Toshiba site. The drivers from ATI directly not designed for mobile cards!

    Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution. There you can adjust it to the native screen resolution.

  • View topic - the games shown in a small window on the built-in screen

    I have a SAT. 2805 S402 with Nvidia GeForce2Go chip. I was able to play a couple of my games to the resolution by default (1024 X 768) until I plugged in an external monitor. Now, it displays these games in a small window on the built-in screen. How can I reset this? I've updated my directx stuff, got hardware acceleration, the max value, etc.. DirectX or my driver Nvidia said games to display this way so they will better work?

    As I said, I could read them before fullscreen, I added the external monitor. They were a bit blurry, but I liked better. Kyodai Mahjongg always play at 1024 X 768, but no Tetris 4000 or Atari Arcade.

    Hello

    I put t think directx will help to run these very old games using the full screen.
    In addition, you should always use the Toshiba graphics driver and not the original manufacturer s driver. The Toshiba driver is a slim original graphic driver version and includes a graphics card, protection against overheating.
    I think that this problem occurs only on some games and other games works ok so I n c ELA think other drivers will solve this problem.

    So I don't any idea on this?

    I'll expand a bit then: the bootcamp worked without any problem like 2 days ago, I decided to reinstall it to get more space.

    I installed a windows genuine 10, installed, downloaded on the microsoft Web site: everything seems to work fine except that I can't play anything on this subject.

    I am really boggled because it was OK before my own installation, and does not alter: crossfire is enabled, the latest bootcamp drivers, (I tried yesterday to make a custom, always late drivers).
