old games

Hello! I own Windows 7 x64 running on a new Acer Aspire laptop - 4GB RAM, Intel Core i3 2.13GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1GB own memory). When I switch the computer on, the drive makes a characteristic sound - it is spun up, and its head is placed over the plates. When I turn computer off...

I wish to obtain a copy of Windows 98SE so I can play my older games that don't work on Windows 7. Most notably Jane's Combat Simulations USAF. Microsoft is no longer allowed to distribute Windows 98 because of some deal they made with Sun Microsystems (apparently you can get OSes like MS-DOS...

Yes, I have gone back to the archives and installed Diablo 1 on my computer. My operating system is the 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Now, the game itself is running fine, but the color scheme is all messed up. It looks horrible. I know it's a really old game and all, but is there anyway I...

Hello everyone :) I want to play an old game that requires an old nVidia forceware driver. The problem is that this driver causes problems in newer games! Is it possible to setup something like hardware profiles where I can choose between the older driver and the newer one I used before I...

Hi. This is my first thread ever. I will try to explain my problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, with Windows XP, and i updated it, installing Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything works perfect, the only thing that is not working properly is my graphics card. Its an Ati Mobility Radeon X300...

Hi My laptop originally was loaded Vista Home Premium, I took advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (which incidentally cost me apx £22 for shipping charges)... Details: HP Pavillion DV72110sa, AMD Turion X2 Dual Core 2.20GHZ (64 bit), 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 4530 512MB...

I'm an old-timer, I still like Syd Meier's Civilisation III. This installed under Win 7 Home Premium (32 bit) just fine and runs fine - but where do the Save files go? I can't find them in order to delete old ones!

Old games like silent strom (from nival) and sentinelle (also hammer and sickle) are not supported by W7. Unsuported video card message !!! So far, no passtrought !!!:frown: (BTW, ny system is a amd quad core with a nvidia gtx285 and windows seven pro 64 bits).

Ok, my friend is having issues with getting this MMO (trickster online) (Link Removed - Invalid URL) to work.. Im on Vista, so I cant help trouble shoot for him >< he has 2 comps.. 7, and 7 Ultimate I guess. He's running 32bit version. Problem: He clicks Game Start and gets...

Has anyone tried registering vbrun100.dll? I have some old games I would like to play.

Well, I thought I'd try the old Broken Sword games again, for the pure nostalgic fun of it... Everything went well at first, Shadow of the Templars (BS1) and The Smoking Mirror (BS2) are working fine in ScummVM. Broken Sword 2.5 installed without a hitch and runs perfectly fine as well. But...

I still have the old nice MS game Midtown Madness 2. Now it works perfectly on XP even though it's thought to be used on Win98. I tried it on VIsta but it doesn't really work. At least not that much that it's fun to play. So I'm gonna test it on Win7 when I get the BETA. I'll write details here...

hi i am due to buy a new laptop soon which will have 'vista home premium' installed. i would like to play a few old games such as 'quake 4' and 'tomb raider' on it. what are the compatability issues as regards to running software that was originally written to run with 'xp' on 'vista'? if...

Ok, Kinda a weird problem.. I have a really old game that i love to play and worked on all my op systems except vista.. I'm so mad. Its called starsiege tribes and it was meant to be run on windows 98. But i really wanna play it and cant figure out why it only opens in a window that i cant play...

Any way to restore/reinstall my old XP Pro solitare? The Vista Ult one is clunky and slow and requires two extra steps to play againâ€â€Â￾irritating for this addict who plays each day until I win. Thanks, Kerry
