Issue with Old games in Win 7

[Vyom]

^^Yeah.. even I tried to solve this issue in the thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/gamerz/136427-gta-3-hangs-after-loading-saved-game-win7.html.

But to no avail.. didn't resolved. And now I think, XP is the only way to play those games now.

dude make a 10gb partition. Install xp. And play in it.

Can I install XP over windows 7. I am afraid to try it in fear, that it might corrupt Win7 bootloader etc... not an expert in this area...

F U K all those who pirated GTA 4 and couldn't get it to run.

Seriously mods, how the fk can u allow these discussions?
and at the same time help them to get pirated sh1t run.

I seriously loved the earlier mods like FilledVoid who purged all fkers who asked help for running pirated games.

No you can't. You can install win7 over XP but not the reverse.
Man get original GTA4 its just 499INR. Its worth it seriously.

You actually can install Win 7 on XP. All you have to do is repair the boot using Boot DvD. of Win 7

^^ So, I would just need the Installation disk of Windows 7 to repair that? Isn't so?
If it's that easy and a reliable process, it might make my dream come true. Since my PC was originally built for XP. And I would be glad to have that blazing fastness and familiarity of XP again

If you are running Windows 7 Ultimate, then download & install Windows XP mode from the Microsoft site. This will run in a virtual environment inside Windows 7.

You can play games in it.

I recently downloaded the BLC99SE (Brian Lara Cricket) and i installed the game.

.....

You said it, I locked it. You shouldn't have said it.

Hope the OP can show the original DL link, that it was legitimate and not circumvented software. Please send to ICO via PM only. He will decide.

All right. I've opened your cricket thread. I should have locked your Vice City thread rather.

I have installed Xp,ubuntu on windows 7....Its easy.....read more about boot and grub files.

Peace~~~!

Tried every possible settings, the issue is not compatibility related one. I tried MS AppCompatibility application,but still the same error.

I dropped the idea of playing it.(Man, i loved that game)

11 years old game. I had the 2001 for PS1 and was really grear

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Yet to try DOSBox. Guess it will run 16bit games flawlessly as per the documents in their site.

 

[gameranand]

^^ Yes it does that perfectly. I tried that myself.

 

[furious_gamer]

Tried DOSBox and it's of no use. Mounted it to C:\game and tried running launcher.exe, but of no use... Any solution left there guys?
