Im trying to run a few old games ive found (commandos, titanic adventure out of time, imperium galactica)

however the problem i keep getting is that my version of windows 7 is 64bit, and none of the installers will run as an error message saying 'not compatible with this 64bit version of windows,' blah blah..appears.

i cant get virtual PC from microsoft as you can only download it if you have 7 ultimate / professional. (i have home prem). and none work with dosbox..

are there any more options i have to try to get these to run?

thanks in advance

have you tried running them from the setup.exe rather than using auto start?

i had to do this on vista for some older games.

Get Sun Virtual Box and a copy of Windows 2000/95/XP and install it on your virtual machine.

I've had to do it as a GPS simulator I need to use only seems to work on very old machines. Virtual Box is free and is apparently better than MS Virtual PC too.
