Need help running games on Windows64 in Virtual machines

Post by hfric »

yeah new windows 64 , and i got the first problem "witch virtual machine runs on it" ...

Well wanted to play some old adventure games that only run under win 95/98 and Virtual Pc 2004 is not compatible with 64bit systems , Well tried VmWare Workstation 5 that runs on win64 but they gfx drivers are shitty , they don`t want to run "Dark side of the Moon DVD" :cry:

yeah i know some wise guys will say install winxp 32 win64 is shit ... :roll: yeah right all my things runs ultra fast now with my 64bit processor

anyway found a info that "Virtual Server R2 Standard edition" would run games quite well but ... that M$ only gives you the possibility to download only the manual ... the trail is only for bizzes customers :x

and no dual boot system , thats why VIRTUAL machines are for :P

so anyone got some suggestion , ideas becoz this will be the next BIG PROBLEM in Vista :evil:



ps. now i am ib the middle of a experiment with running the Virtual pc in VdWare ... :lol: reminds me "Run DOS , Run DOS Run"

ok will try it , anyway got a link for Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise Edition :P wonders me how will it work ...

anyway this things are good to know becoz Vista is Based on Windows Server 2003 AKA Windows 64bit and if I find a working Virtual machine that plays windows 98 games under a 64bit system ... then this will be the jack point of the century
