I appreciate you trying to lend a helping hand to those of us wishing they could somehow play some older games on Windows 10. Unfortunately for me F1 Challenge '99-'02 won't run. At least you gave us an option to try, so for that.."I Thank you"

oh wow i have been looking for my old game to work for years now and finally it does thanks!

My problem is that the game is recognized and installs, but once I click play it asks for the cd to be in the drive. The problem with that, is that the cd is in the drive. I managed to get it playing before, but now it wont.

Speaking of racing games: Superbike World Championship (Milestone, EA 1999) can not even be installed from the original disc. It always comes the message "%P does not run on Windows XP". No matter what settings I make in compatibility mode, it comes out the same. And VMs are very limited in graphics, so what can I do?

I did this to Commando games. The monitor change to smaller size of 640X480 (I am not sure the exact resolution but looks like 640X480), while the game is "no responding". I also tried DirectPlay and also did not get game launched.

I have tried playing games from abandonware by using virtual clone drive. No problems mounting but cant install because its not compatible with 64bit system. Nothing in compatibility changes that. Any suggestions?

I just tried to fire up GT Lengends yesterday and was so disappointed when it failed. Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm. Now I'll probably play it for 5 minutes and not again until it's obsolete again on whatever version of windows is out then. Lol!

im trying to get sims medieval (a 32 bit game made for windows 7) to run on windows 10 and the compatibility stuff doesnt seem to be working for me. any ideas?

[attila]

I've done all this but it's still not working. I get all the way to the part where it says "loading 3D graphics" and that's it. I doesn't go any further

Ok so I'm really late for this party but I'll leave my question either way: What do you do when the actual SETUP.EXE don't execute?I keep getting a message saying "This program don't work on your PC" every time I try to run it :[

I think u can help me. Im trying to play zoo tycoon 2 but a large zoo that i did keeps crashing. The zoo has a lot of information and ive used the same program that fixes the crashin proplem on the sims 2. But it keep lagging and the game shuts.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get 007 Nightfire 2002 working on a 2015 TOSHIBA laptop? I am having serious tehcnical difficulties where it doesn't want to work. If someone can find out how to work this and tell me, I would be most grateful! I try and run it as administrator, it doesn't work. I try and run it normally, it doesn't work. I try and open it, it doesn't work. It is a real annoyance.
