Microsoft Windows 98 was an operating system used on a majority of personal computers from 1998 to 2000. Because of this, there are a variety of games available to play on Windows 98, but are incompatible with later versions of Windows. If you have Windows XP or higher, you have access to a "Compatibility Mode" that allows your computer to play those games. Activating compatibility mode is a simple procedure. Right-click the file that you usually click on when you are trying to start a game. Select the "Properties" option in the drop-down menu. Select the "Compatibility" tab, then check the "Windows 98" box. Select the proper video mode for your game under "Display Settings." Select the "Apply" button to save your settings, and select "OK." Double-click on your game's file to begin playing the game.
The problem is that this game is for WINDOWS 98.. Compatibility mode doesn't seem to work to get this game running. I bought it back in 1999 and we had a windows 98 SE box and it ran smoothly, I've personally never been able to get it to work on windows XP/Vista/7 .. There is a pop up "This game is designed for windows 98, we will install it provided you have 2000" aka this game is designed to work with the old FAT32 OS not NTFS
If you JUST bought this game, return it.. it'll never work ..
I've even tried making a disk image and ran daemon tools.. nada
Check the system requirements and look at the graphics card. If it doesn't match with yours (below it), then get a new graphics card.
ps. Whats your operating system???
Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is
for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like
you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from
other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before
installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use
"troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program
installer first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will
allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run.
Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

i can hear the game but cannot see it
I have the same problem and I have Windows Vista Premium Dell pc. I tried installing it with using the compatibility wizard and then used the compatibility wizard to try and play the game but my screen was all black and the mouse/cursor wasn't seen. So it was disabled in the game but I could hear the audio on the game. I just bought this pc last year and it's a multimedia computer system. I used to play this game on my old pc (before it was stolen) and I had Windows 98 then and everything worked fine on that pc.
Yeah. i have the same problem. i installed it today after using it on my old computer and i can hear it but cant see the game. i think it has something to do with Vista
Does ANYBODY have a solution!?! I have the same problem and I have Windows Vista as well. Tried compatibility wizard, nothing is helping. The answer provided is NO GOOD. If we have Vista, of course we have a better graphics card. I know ours is an accelerated one. So please... someone must have an answer!!
Same problem...I'd love to play it on my laptop at school...
I have Windows Vista & can hear the game, but not see it - helllllp! :-0
