Vista - Win 95 games

TheGurnard · 03-08-2009

I am trying to get my win 95 games to run on home premium. Can any one help? I have tried Dosbot but for some reason that does not want to work either.

I don't know if "pinball" is one of them but I put that on Vista Home Premium. Just copied it to a flash drive from an XP system and put it in the "windows NT" folder. Works great. I have lost the links I used. This info may help you get started. I don't think all the older games will go into the "NT" folder but you may want to google it using some of that info. Good luck!

Just for some more info....I think "pinball" is the only one that will work that way. (in the "NT folder) and you may want to google it for a tutorial. It's very simple. The other games probably will not work that way. If this is what you are looking for....tip the scales....I need th rep power. Good luck!

The rest of the games you could probably copy into the "games" folder and run in compatibility mode if that helps.
