    Old Game Instillation (0xc0000142) error


    Hey just registered,

    I am trying to install a game that should be used on Windows 95. I have tried to change the compatibility to 1995, but to no avail.

    I keep getting the error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."

    I have windows 7 64bit

    Any idea what to do?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Windows 95 was a long time ago.........perhaps compatibility mode will not work. What is the name of the game?
