Just to check i'm am not making a fundamental error, to instal the game, I am clicking on the file labeled:
"GMP2" and it is an "application" and the size is "1,614Kb"

Is this the correct way to install the game?

Thanks.

Here is your solution, enjoy!

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.

Ok thanks. What do I do with this now?

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.

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.

But it allows me to continue to install the program. Is this ok?

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.




I just was to lazy to set W98SE desktop res to 640x480, but VPC can also run full screen if wanted.

You may ignore that warning, I'm on ultimate, but have already installed it on home 64 bits, it works.
It's just that MS likes to sell the costly high end versions.

[quote=dosraider;418372]You download VPC2007 for 64 bit Windows, install it, and then you also need W98SE or XP to install in virtual PC.

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

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
