If you ever wanted to play older games on Windows 7 or Vista and after you install them the games or even programs don't work, here are some tips on how to make them work.
1. Right click on the main executable of the game/program, choose properties, and choose the compatibility tab.
There you will find "Run this Program in compatibility mode for:" and choose whatever suits you, for example Windows XP Sp2. Also choose run this program as administrator.
2. If you try to run a setup and it gives you errors, right click and choose Run program as administrator and it should work.
Compatibility issues work better on Windows 7 than on Vista but try and tweek the settings above mentioned and if you encounter some times when it won't work even if you set up as above, then it's probably because of the fact that the program is too old and these newer OS don't recognize them. Just try and tweek them and most of the times it does work.
