Then you are basically stuck. If you can not get Win98/SE/ME to work, you've basically run out of options for this particular game. In Windows versions prior to the NT architecture taking over, the applications (and thus games) accessed the hardware directly. This no longer happens and some games ...

I looked up the minimum requirements for this game and it seems to have been programmed for Win95/98. WinXp and Win2000Pro are based on the NT architecture and access hardware differently than earlier versions of the os. So basically what I'm saying is that you should use either Win95 or 98 in ...

Redjack (Cyberflix) file errors

So following Titanic I thought I'd give Redjack a whirl since it's also made by Cyberflix. I'm trying to play this game (I got RJ from this site) on VirtualPC2007 with Windows XP. Problem is it keeps giving me errors. The error usually says something to the effect of:

Sorry, a non-recoverable ...

Remove it from the VPC console and then simply delete the Win98 .vmc and .vhd
Tip: keep a back up of your XP .vmc and .vhd - should things get messed up you can replace your virtual XP in about 5 seconds
Thank you so much for the help! :D

Have you installed the VPC Additions? I'm not sure if that will solve your sound issue, but it might and is very useful anyway for for instance a shared folder with the host OS
If no luck, try installing the sound drivers manually - check your Win98 Device Manager to see if you need this one ...

Yes it will, even on my old XP Home (512 MB 1,7 GHz) it works fine although that's officially not supported.

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but anyway: you can install Win98 in for instance VirtualPC2007 or VMWare. A lot of older games that are 'difficult' under XP/Vista will run troublefree there.
Initially a bit of work, but saves a lot of time and frustration in the long run

I don't ...

Titanic Adventure Out of Time vista issue

Every time I try to play this game it crashes on Vista 32.

I did make sure I used the compatibility tab. I set the following files setup.exe, titanic.exe, ti.exe to Windows XP sp2 (b/c when I tried 98/ME and 95 it wouldn't open complaining about some kind of memory problem).

So I got the game ...

I have a question about a request

I know the rules say this:
Only Request/Upload Games! Do Not Request Or Upload Other Material (Apps, Movies/Multimedia, etc)!

But I was wondering if it's okay to request a score from an adventure game. It's from a very popular game series and it is available for purchase because it's the full ...

lol Yeah I know. People are crazy for paying that amount. Only good thing about buying it is that usually you'd get the box art. I'm one of those people who likes owning the box art as well as the game, but hey sometimes you just gotta make do.

Don't get me wrong, onawire. I just played the devil's advocate. :D

Too few people would buy old adventures if they were published again, so it wouldn't pay to the companies. On the other hand, they frown at seeing people download their property (they still own the licenses). So it's a "a-dog-not ...

Uninstalling Quicktime 2

I installed Ghostly Desires (yes I can admit it!). I couldn't get the game to work even though I installed Quicktime 2 like it wanted me to. I'm giving up on the game (I watched all the sleazy files anyway :P ) So now how can I uninstall Quicktime 2? It doesn't show up in the add/remove programs ...
