| | Older PC games and Windows Vista I have a Survivor Interactive PC game bought in 2001. I just bought a new Dell notebook and am getting an error message "config.tx" and the program ends. Any ideas? Also what is going to happen when I play the Sims games? |

| | Re: Older PC games and Windows Vista You can also try running the game in Compatibility mode to see if it will work. Just right click the Game executable > click Properties > Compatibility (tab) > Check the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:" for box and select an appropriate version of Windows the game is know to run on. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Becky" <Becky@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0612931F-0E57-463E-883B-79B7F4B5764E@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a Survivor Interactive PC game bought in 2001.
