What Does This Mean?

Hi,

I've downloaded an old game but can't run it on my laptop. It's windows 7 and the response I'm getting is:

"The program or feature "\??\E:\INTSALL.EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windos compatible version is available."

Am I to assume this is a lost cause?

 

Try running it in windows XP compatibility mode..

 

Sorry if I'm sounding blonde, but do you mean run the program in XP or do I have to change the whole setting of my PC?

 

Right click on the program, select "Troubleshoot Compatibility", select windows XP in the list when prompted. You can choose the compatibility mode from properties of the program as well.

This video explains how to use compatibility mode in windows 7 -

tried that, but it doesn't seem to work no matter what mode i try it in

 

i guess you can try in someone else's computer with win 7 32 bit...or an actual windows XP

 

cool video. thanks for sharing...
