Hello artoriusking,

First off may I suggest you try this

Can You RUN It?

Its just possible that maybe those games won't run on Vista, its worth a try

Hope it helps you

Re: help

Secondly, when asking for help (this goes pretty much for anything), may I suggest you explain as much as possible what the problem is and what have you done so far.

Also, posting your system specs can help us help you quicker, otherwise, we are speculating and nobody likes to do that.

Re: help

sorry specs vista x64, nvidia 9800m gs, 4gb memory, should be good for any game out just about. Port Royale 2 does nothing after reading cd same with 1503AD, Dawn of Magic will not even read

Re: help

Have you tried the link I gave you?

Here:

Can You RUN It?

Just search for your games in the drop down list and then click "Can you RUN it"

I only ask as those are old games, at least I think they are
