I found my old Puzz 3d Victorian Mansion cd and would love to play it again. I have a Hp AMD Athlon II,4gb/750G running window 7. What will happen if I run the cd/ Can it damage my computer? will it even play? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you're asking whether installing the game will hurt your computer, it probably won't. But it's unlikely to play if it doesn't get along with a version of QuickTime that works on Windows 7.

It would be cleaner and easier to get to play if you played it on Windows 95 or 98 inside Virtual PC. You can get Virtual PC for free here

The 2007 version should work with Windows 7. I'm not sure about the 2004 version. You'll need a copy of Win95 or Win98 to install inside of Virtual PC.

If you try it in Windows 7 natively (in other words, without Virtual PC), let Draclvr know your results and whether it works with the current version of QuickTime.

Thanks Jenny, I was worried about hurting my computer. I will let Draclvr know how it goes as soon as I get the nerve to try it.
