Location: Doncaster, UK   | Re: Windows 95 games on vista Hi Mark, It is possible for some, but not all, older software to run on Vista. You need to try running the program in compatibility mode, and you may need to try various combinations of the options available. Windows 95, as by its name, is now 13 years old and is no longer supported by Microsoft. Dwarf |

Location: Lagos  | Re: Windows 95 games on vista hi, build an image from the game, mount a virtual drive and try to play it from there. Go to the properties of the executable game file where you will find the option to run it in compatible mode for xxx and xxx abouts trying out those options one by one untill run them all, may one work. Experiment to run it in safe mode also. Find out about the game for any patch or fix from the developers, also. Cheers! |
