Hello, I bought the Cossacks Anthology Collectors Edition and installed the whole stuff (European, Art and Back), then I tried to run it but the first two exe files don't run (the win messages said dmcr problem), while the Back To War exe seemed to run but the screen image after the initial videos freezed like there was some problem with the video card... I have a nb intel core duo with a nvidia gt 320 1 gb.

You can give this a go too... http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_cossacks.shtml

Windows Vista or Windows 7, will have problems running some older versions of applications, just because so much has changed under the hood from Windows XP days. Thankfully there is a compatibility mode that can be easily set per application.

To configure the compatibility mode for an application, just locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu. THEN select your compatibility tab, You can choose to run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, or even all the way back to Windows 95 compatibility.

Probably the most useful setting to start off with would be to disable the visual themes and desktop composition, if you can't get things working. If you are trying to run a video game, you will often need to choose "Run this program as an administrator". You'll have to play around with it, but most likely you can get your application working this way. Also, you will be able to make a selection for windows VISTA which is backwards and forwards compatible with WINDOWS 7
