Please make Oregon trail work with window vista it's one of the classic best ever game that need to keep up to date

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. I would like to know if the program that you are trying to load on your Snow Leopard is The Learning Company Oregon Trail 3rd edition? Please provide the information needed to be able to help you with your concern.
Thanks

you should erase it from the computer and reinstall if it doesnt work look in the back of the game box and there it says the expectations that the game needs and if you dont meet one of those expectations the game wont work

do these steps:
1- go to start.
2- right-click on "computer".
3- select "properties".
4- from left, select "system protection".
5- go to "advanced" tab.
6- from "performance" select "settings".
7- select "data execution prevention" tab.
8- select "turn on DEP for all programs except those i select"
9- add .exe file of your game (main file for runing game).
10- apply.
11- enjoy!
12- don't forget vote, please.

You need to update the OREGON5.INI file with the following:
rsrcpath=C:\Program Files (x86)\The Learning Company\Oregon Trail 5
After this, it works perfectly!!!

See if this could help and please reply if it does.

either keep putting the 2nd cd / dvd else. search both cds u'll find put the same exe file image ( a patch ) same as the file image on which u double click n run ( just copy that file into the location and it ll be done.

Hi,
Please check the compatibility of the game with Vista, and am not sure if this compatible at first place. Secondly you can run programs or games in XP mode by right clicking on the exe file of the game, goto properties and select compatibility, and then select to run in XP mode. Hope this helps

Since you own a copy of the game, it is legal for you to go and download a No-CD crack. There should be many online, simply go to google and type in the Name of the game and No-CD crack. You should be able to find one, they also typically come with instructions on how to use them.

Most likely. Box says 95/98 ME XP

You could try to playing it compatibility mode. To do this, right-click the game, click Properties, then click the Compatibility tab and check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility for:", then choose what to run it under. This may or may not work, but hopefully it will.

You better dig that old Win98 machine out of the closet and fire it up. Oregon Trail doesn't want to install properly even when you run the install and set up in Compatibility mode (95 or 98). There is some issue with the version of DirectX it wants to use as well.
