Win98 Emulator

[BurningIce]

Yo folks
I'm searching for a Emulator with that I can play Win98 or Win95 Games on Win2000. Especialy it sould support Silver (by Infogrames), it's the first game I bought ever and I still love it but it don't works under Windows 2000 or XP. I'm realy pissed off about that :redcry: so I would be very gratefull if someone could help me out.

You don't need an "emulator" for this.

You need to use Windows 2K/XP' compatiblity mode.

Right click on the exe, choose the compatibility tab, and enable it to run under Windows 98

OK this kicks ass :doh: ! I'm realy not a newbie so this is a shame for me and all my friends :embarass:.

but
-Learning is the one and only objectiv of life-
-You learn with the faults you do-
-Internet is more education than school-
and all these other wisdoms

Wait a sec - seems like it's not that easy...
Simply right klick ? There isn't any compatibility mode. Shure I use the german version but my english isn't that bad that I wouldn't find the right option. Might it be that I first have to install a service pack for win2000 or do I have to activate any Setting in the System Config ???

If you are using Windows 2000, IIRC, you need at least service pack 3 installed. It's very easy once you do this.

Copy and paste this command into your Start - Run box and press enter.
regsvr32 c:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll
You will then be able to select Compatibility Mode from any desktop shortcut.

Service pack 3 hu? OK I think I'll get it on Microsoft Hompage :disgust:. If I don't come back satisfyed - call 911!

Just get the SP3 from www.windowsupdate.com (http://www.windowsupdate.com)

[BurningIce]

Copy and paste this command into your Start - Run box and press enter.
regsvr32 c:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll
You will then be able to select Compatibility Mode from any desktop shortcut.

I did - there was an reaction: "DllRegisterServer in c:\winnt\apppatch\slayerui.dll succeeded" - but still there isn't any Compatibility Mode
when I right click on the Silver.exe.
And I also got the Service Pack 3 for Win2000 and there isn't anything helpfull, too.
You can call me everything but blind - there isn't any ++++ing (sorry) Compatibility Mode !!!

(Beside this I'm realy glad you want to help me - thank you)

YEAAAAHAAAAA ! Got the SOLUTION - you wanted to fool me with this lousy right click ??? Why don't you say right click/Settings/Compatibility ?
Don't care anymore...

I want to thank you all - you realy saved my day


:hug:



SILVER I'M COMING !!!


:ax:

[Furburger]

Personally I would have suggested you get Service Pack 4, after all that is the latest.

Because I never use the compatibility feature, and because you should explore yourself. It's the best way to learn :p

[RustinEyes]

Really sorry for bringing this subject back up but i was just wondering if this compatibilty mode actualy worked for Silver? Cus it sure as hell dont work for me!

[NorthViking]

It will work with DosBox http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

[RustinEyes]

Windows Compatibility mode never fails especially on Windows XP

[RustinEyes]

[raven_g20]

Compatibilty mode most of time don't work

Compatability mode annoys me, but it has its moments.
