Windows 95 to Windows 7. Windows compatibility works do not to install from dos/Windows 95 version of Master of Orion 2. Is there another way?

Hello

I have a dos/Windows 95 master of Orion 2 and really desperate male relative.  Is it possible to install this game on a Windows 7 system?   He repeats to me that there is a mismatch due to 64-bit system.  I used the program in the control panel for trying to install programs designed for earlier versions of windows, but the compatibility program was not able to help me.  I also tried the right click on the Setup icon, select properties and change the compatibility of the system, but also the resolution here, but alas no luck.  Thank you!

Hello EBahama.

If its a DOS game I would suggest using DOSBox.  It's a bit complicated so I won't have a full run down here.  But assuming that this male relative has used BACK before he shouldn't have any problems.

If it is a real 16-bit Windows application.  Then you could use a Virtual Machine, assuming that your CPU supports the required technology (many do not) and installs an earlier version of Windows on them.  Unless you use the professional version of Windows 7.  Then you can download 'XP Mode' which is a virtual machine that comes with a copy of Windows XP.

A failure there is a Master of Orion 3 released a few years ago, I'm not on top of my head, if its compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.  But there are also the Sins of a Solar Empire, which is compatible, is a little different, because his real time, but his little near the same concept. :-) Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience...

  • External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

    I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

    Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
    error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

    So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
    gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
    Windows can not access the disk".".

    So is there any other way or option?

  • AutoComplete doesn't work does not after installing IE *.

    AutoComplete URL function works does not after installing IE8.  Looking at the Advanced tab properties IE I see an option to use AutoComplete (which is
    ticked off) but it is said to "..". turn of Internet Explorer".  Whatever that means, and how I seized not semi-automatic work again under IE8?  I can go back
    for IE7, if it's the only way.   I tried to hit "reset" on the Advanced tab I saw a thread on try this - but no go...  Thank you

    sjakulski,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    In Internet Explorer 8, the Auto complete option is in a new tab.  Go to tools, Internet Options and then click the content tab.  You will see a section that says "Auto-Complete".  Click on the 'Settings' button and it gives you several choices of auto complete options.

    This should solve your problem.  Let us know if you need more information.

    To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  • I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

  • I have a HTML5 form that sends a null (%) if the user does not have a choice. It works fine, but I get an error of W3c on the value of '% '. Is there another way to send a NULL value?

    I have an HTML5 form that allows the user to select 1 of 6 provinces of Costa Rica. If they do not select a Province, I use php code to send a NULL value and the other selections research of the form looking for all Provinces. If they choose a province, we are looking for database records that are found in this province.  Currently I use the value = '%' as the selected value if the user does not have a choice. It works and looks in all provinces, but I get an error of W3c checking on the value = '% '. Y at - it another way to send a NULL value. PS: I have the same problem on the following form which allows you to select the Business category. The page is http://www.yellowpagescr.com

    Here is a copy of the code. The RED line works but gets a W3c issue error of the test page. :

    < form = class "navbar-form Center navigation bar" role = "Search" action = "#searchresults" method = "get" name = "selectterms" id = "selectterms" title = "" >

    < select name = "province" autofocus class = 'copyright' title = "Click to select a Province (optional)" >

    < option value = '%' selected = "selected" > all Provinces < / option >

    < option value = "alajuela" > Alajuela < / option >

    < option value = "cartago" > Cartago < / option >

    < option value = "Guanacaste" selected > Guanacaste < / option >

    < option value = "heredia" > Heredia < / option >

    < option value = "Limon" > Limon < / option >

    < option value = "Puntarenas" > Puntarenas < / option >

    < option value = "San Jose" > San Jose < / option >

    < option value = "Other" > other < / option >

    < / select >

    The correct way.

  • Windows Update offers me a few old updates, is there a way to track and organize the installation of update history?

    Original title: update windows

    I am regularly offered 'old' updates for installation, for example, KB2487367 published 05/08/2011. Is it possible to copy my Windows Update history file to an Excel file? I could then sort by number of update and avoid download/installation of the old updates. Or better yet, is there a historic Windows Update file that is already sorted by number of update?

    Yes, it was installed successfully (according to the history of the update). No indication that it was available on resetting for several days. I went through my entire history of update to see if/when it has been previously installed. It is not a major concern for download and install. Am I better turn off just the download of 'important' updates offered by Microsoft? He done wrong to "re-download"?

    If you install, you may need it.  You only * need * to install critical / security updates really.
     
    If the update installs correctly and not is not offered on several occasions "burst" - there is no harm in just letting Windows Update just "doing his thing"...
