Win 7 compatibility and older games
I have just built a new machine and I am noticing that installing and playing older games with win7.64 does not work most of the time.. I have of course tried the compatibility troubleshooter to no avail. Most of the time when I go to "start program" in the TS it simply does not run and there is no error message.
First time using win 7 and 64bit platform so I am not familiar with all of its nuances.
Do I have to dual boot with a friendly OS to be more backward compatible?
I really love how this machine screams now and I really don't want to put training wheels on my Porsche.
The list of games I have tried is lengthy here are a few...
Doom II
Zork Anthology
Sid Meir's Railroads
Silent Thunder
I am just wondering if there is another trick to this 64bit os to make it more friendly with the archaic software.
