Help please!
Hey Professor Oak,
I've just tried the solution. I tried installing wing10, and i got this message: "This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows your're running. Check your computers system information to see whether you need and x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher." What should I do now? I am assuming i would need a 64-bit, given that my Vista is 64bit? Thanks for the help. I can't wait to play this game again. |

I get that it creates a 'virtual pc' allowing me to emulate any operating system. What do I do etc. and how do I run the game through it? If that is what I am to do. Thanks. |
Help please!
Also, for some reason when I go to instal the VPC, it comes up with a warning that I am not running a supported operating system.
But right clicking on 'My Computer' it tells me I am running: "Windows Vista Home Premium" 64-bit Operating System. Any ideas? Thanks. |
Help please!

You download VPC2007 for 64 bit Windows, install it, and then you also need W98SE or XP to install in virtual PC.
Once that done you can run most of them old games in it without problems. A few that needs full 3D support won't run in it as VPC doesn't support real 3D, but luckily most games from that era can run in what's usually called 'software mode' or similar. A fast testrun on Vista 64/XPC2007/W98SE with GPM2 shows that it runs flawless. http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/838/gpm2001.th.png http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1020/gpm2002.th.png I just was to lazy to set W98SE desktop res to 640x480, but VPC can also run full screen if wanted.

It's just that MS likes to sell the costly high end versions. |

Here are you just talking about selecting W98 from the list when selecting operating system when creating my new virtual machine? And do I create a new virtual harddisk? Then how do I install the game? The anticipation and excitment is killing me now. Thanks |
Help please!
I have tried starting the VPC, and I have got the black screen and it says:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device" Thanks |
There is no 64-bit version. WinG has been discontinued after DirectX 1 was released.
The best thing I could suggest is that you use DOSBox combined with this: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...48&postcount=2 (but read the instructions...) |
