Default Playing older games on Windows 7.   #1  
Okay, so I was gonna post this in games, but it seemed more likely to belong here. ANYWAY. I recently got a laptop with windows 7 and there are a few games that won't work on anything above vista. ( Specifically, Keepsake and Yardsale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyvale, Yardsale Hidden Treasures: Lucky Junction >> ). I was wondering if there is any way to get around this problem? I really would like to play them again. D:

I know you can get dosbox for like old old old games, but the ones I want are way more recent. If anybody knows, please help meee. xD
<3

there is a way, I had to do that before to a program, it's been a while though
you just have to set it so it after loading it to the computer, and either right click or something, and tell it that it worked on a previous version of windows and which one, and save that setting...

try this:
if it doesn't work, I'll look around and try to find another way to fix it

isn't that funny
there is a way, most programs, if they have loading errors after the instal can be manipulated by going into the run-as box and changing the adress(usually by adding) but it is different for ever game so i could not help you past asking google

See and I've looked everywhere on google, and for some reason couldn't find any answers. Dx I figured I just missed something. I can try again though.
