Noob needs help 10 Anthology issue

Post » Wed Dec 04, 2013 2:32 pm

I broke out my gamesas 10 year anth. I load it in my computer and it wont play it :(

I'm guessing because I use Windows Vista am I just screwed or can I play it another way? I have even tried playing individual games in my DosBox and again no help.

I would assume they would work using DosBox. Did they install at all? Beta tester for:GSC Truck Series, Game Stock Car, Diablo 3, Descent 3 1.5 Patch, C&C Generals, Independance War 2,Starfleet Command 2,Settlers IV,Tzar,Allegiance,Starfleet Command (Alpha & Beta),MAX 2,Defiance

Remember that nothing from Vista and beyond supports 16 bit software. That would be any MS-DOC games which you're trying to install.

So, Dosbox may be your only option. That or build an XP box and run the programs in compatibility mode. If you have the space (and the "know-how") maybe a duel boot between XP and Vista? "The Cat was already dead when I got there." - Curiosity
