My computer can't run a 2000 game

[Col. Burton]

I have been trying for about an hour, re-downloading the same thing, and it still does this.



I have re-downloaded it 4 times in a row, and it's still happening. Any suggestions?

Knowing what game it is would help.

Try running in compatibility mode.

Nox, as it says in the image.

And, what is compatibility mode?

[Coolio]

Right Click game > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program in compatibility mode > Windows 2000

Try running in compatibility mode.

It's a downloadable game, not online.

If all else fails, get a virtual machine.

Odd. My XP can run Zork: Grand Inquisitor, and that game is from October 31, 1997.

Change your bit to 16bit

I can run Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream from around the same time without issue. まほ～
