I HAVE DOOM FOR WINDOWS 95 AND CAN'T GET IT TO OPERATE ON WINDOWS 7, WILL THERE BE A DOOM GAME FOR WINDOWS 7?

Download a virtual os
Ie... Virtual box
Or
Vmware

Install windows 95 to the virtual os then instal your game

All runs on windows 7 just like a game or application would except its a fully operational windows 95 within windows 7

Hope this answers your question

What you can do is try right clicking the icon of the game then properties. Click COMPATIBILITY tab then check the box the says "RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATIBILITY MODE" then choose windows 95. You may also check the box run in 640 x 480 screen resulotions or even lower if it does not work. Then click OK.

You can now try running the game by clicking the icon. If it does not work then I believe you cannot run that game anymore not until you have another PC that runs on windows 95 or if you are familiar with dual boot.

Hi,
The only thing you can try is the "Compatibility Mode" option in windows 7. Right click the executable for your game and choose properties. Go to compatibility tab and choose a lower version of Operating System (e.g. Windows XP SP2) that supports your game. Save the changes you made by clicking on OK and try the game again. If this won't work, there is no other way but to use another computer with a compatible OS or downgrade your OS to a lower version that works.
You might also want to check your game manufacturer website for any update or patch that you can use to make the game compatible for Windows 7.
Hope this helps.

Right click on the game icon or shortcut. When the menu opens, go down to properties and left click. A window will open, click the compatibility tab then click the check box "run this program in compatibility mode for:" Then click the drop down menu beneath the check box and click "windows 95 or 98" click apply. Should get you going.

Windows 7 is way to new for the game, but you can try copying the files to a folder on your computer, right click on the install file and troubleshoot compatibility. From there you should be able to set it to run under windows 95 settings. If that does not work, then unfortunately you will not be able to use that game on your new computer.

Hope this helps.

Hi, phoogland!

Older products aren't compatible with newer OS. The best way you can play these games is probably by emulating a virtual PC. Try installing Windows 98 on a Windows Virtual PC.

Here's a link to a detailed manual: http://www.essjae.com/virtualization/WinVPC-InstallingWin98.pdf

If this didn't fix your issue please let me know. Hope this helped you!

Wow, big OS problem here.

Windows 7 and Vista both have a serious problem playing games for the previous OS's (XP, ME, 2000, 98/95, 3.1). There are sometimes fixes that you can find on the web (download such and such driver or whatever.) but these only work about 15% of the time. Your best bet to get it to work is to find the .exe file that runs the game itself (right click on the shortcut and click "open file location"). When you find the .exe, right click on that and go to properties, then click the "compatability" tab. At this tab you can set the compatability settings to try and get the game to work. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. If it doesn't, then most likely the game is simply too old to work on an OS as recent as windows 7. At that point your best bet is to hunt for a more recent version of the game you want to play (one that is compatable with win7)

Are you certain your DOOM game is compatible with your Vista Operating System? Vista comes in 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Software compatibility depends on the game being designed for the specific OS you have. If you're running 64 bit Vista, I'm guessing your game is designed for Windows XP or 32 bit Vista.

It is not compatiable to vista... You have to check compatiability of the game before installing. Or u can try using these steps
right click on shortcut
select properties
there press CTRL+TAB for windows change until
There u can find compatiablitiy check box
select the check box and select the WINDOWS2000 compatiabilty and run the game

HAVE FUN


GOODLUCK :)

Ok, the PSP emulator is a program that emulates the work of PSP on your computer, and take a portion of your PC's CPU to emulate the PSP's Processor.
