Any ideas or should I just bag it? Thanks.

Just right clik any old game and choose run under vdms. It usually works first time, if not there is a DOC that you can read.If the game still runs to fast you will need to run turbo.exe
you can find a link on
www.tweakXP.com
this will slow down a fast computer by using up available memory.
Turbo.exe has been around for years and is quite well known but some idiot is advertising a new program called by the same name that is a website promo tool, just what the world needs another pyramid scheme!!

But I as many other do have games that will not play on my current system at least not without a little help. So that what I want to do is help people get those games that they enjoy playing to run again.

If you have a game that you would like to get help with running it let me know and I will try and help you get that game up and running. Of course I can make no promise that it will work because I’m sure that there are game out there that just won’t run with toady’s computer. Colonization is a good example of why this can happen. Colonization was developed before Windows 95 came out and was out for Windows 3.1 the problem was when Windows 95 came out they used a new file system, which would make colonization crash. This problem was only fixable one way with a patch that I was able to find some years later. But had it not been for that patch I’m not sure I would have got this game running.

So you may not be able to fix every game but I would say that most should be able to be fixed. So please feel free to post any games that you aren’t able to run and I will try and help out. I’m also going to be posting a few tips here for some of my game that I have I just want to make sure they work first.
