Compatibility never has worked for me on a single game. I bought a new
computer, did the compatible thing on every game and none worked anyway. Ran
as administrator, etc. Nothing worked. Now none of my old games work. This
is a problem with Vista.

Hi,
[color=blue]
>you will find a drop box for compatibility mode installation on the[/color]
"Compatibility" tab. The apps may need Ms-Dos, or perhaps XP mode.

It does not work for me. Do you have any other suggestions about this?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Without asking any questions and based on the information you provided.

Upgrade to Windows (64-bit) XP, Vista or 7 and you will never see this error
ever again.
