If you use Windows 7 Ultimate or Professional (64-bit), to play an old game, you should install the Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode. This will allow you to run a copy of 32-bit XP operating system in a virtual environment. You can try running your game in XP mode here.04-Feb-2014

∙ 12y agoI hope so!
I got it working on vista a few years ago (and if that's possible, than anything is!)
I did try to get it working on 7 before... but failed! I remember it taking several attempts for vista though, so I still hope:)
For Vista, I downloaded a patch from some German site which worked. Unfortunately, I havn't found the site since!
