Have you tried installing in compatibility mode? I know I got lots of games older than 2002 to play using it.

Caz definitely try compatibility mode. I don't have W7 but I always had to play that game that way. Good Luck!

XP is usually a 32-bit system.

Unfortunately my Loch Ness game is missing, so I can't test it -- even on XP. I played it on Windows 98. If you tried playing in compatibility mode as opposed to installing in comaptibility mode by changing compatibility on the installer, be sure to try installing in compatibility mode. Also install by right-clicking the setup/install file and choosing "Run as Administrator." Install into some location other than C:\Program Files -- installing into your user's Documents folder might be best. If the game actually contains 16-bit code, it's not going to work on a 64-bit operating system outside of something like VirtualPC or VMware. According to the specs on the photo of the European version at ***Mobygames***, it does not require video memory or a 3D graphics card so it should work fine inside VirtualPC with Windows 95, 98, ME, or the early version of XP (possibly also XP SP2 and XP SP3) installed. But since I can't find my game, I can't test it.

I made a mistake in my title I am having problems with The Cameron Files Pharaoh's Curse which is a different game from the one mentioned above, sorry about the confusion.

Dumpster diving is not something I care to do either! Although I did score some awesome industrial carpeting when I did the good old dumpster dive with one of my engineers at our old office! When companies would rent office space, they would rip out everything no matter if it was in pristine condition.
