I've got so many old games I hate to forget about them. I don't play them all the time but once in a while. At least I can play them if I want to. Richard

I tried a few games from GOG to see if they would play but no luck. Richard That's odd; we should investigate this. I don't know anyone who has bought games from GOG that has consistent trouble getting them to run on Windows 7 (apart from the Overseer problems, and that gave folks problems when the game was first released years ago). That sounds like maybe a firewall or user account control problem. You may need to adjust some settings.

There should be very few old games that don't work on Window 7. It may take a little tweaking, but I got virtually all of them to work with the exception of 16-bit games. And that isn't the fault of Windows 7, but because most computers use 64-bit Windows 7 to take advantage of increased RAM. Check out the Windows 7 and Games thread stickied at the top of the Glitches forum, Richard.
If a GOG game advertised as working on Windows 7 is having a problem, then you need to contact GOG because they have already applied any fixes needed for the game to work on Windows 7.
Windows 7 does everything XP did and so much more. It just takes a little time to find out where to find everything. I highly recommend using the Help tutorials you can find in the Start menu. They are really helpful and full of information.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Just a couple of games wouldn't run but I will take some me time and try a bunch of them. Also I tried two games from GamersGate and they wouldn't even start. Maybe with this new pc I'm not giving the games a chance. I played A little of Overseer but couldn't get sound all the time. A few times I could. Richard

Funny when Tex is in his office alone with nobody around he is talking and I have sound I can hear him. When he uses the video phone I can hear everything. When other people are with him I get no sound. Richard

Yes, that's where the executable is located in Windows 9x, there should also be a Program Item under Intel RSX 3D if its installed. So many things change with these older classics and newer versions of Windows - it makes life so much fun
