Hi everyone,i have a game called Dune 2000 but i cannot play it on my computer as it is 32bit and my computer is W7 64bit is there anyway of getting it to play.I cannot get compatabilty to work on the game.Is there anyway i can change from 64bit to 32bit without having to change my OS.CHEERS.
 
Only way is to install a virtual machine and run it in xp or something like that. Or get a cheap knock-around PC. I have an old Pentium 4 I got for $50 with XP on it.
 
Aastii have you been at the bottle again you can see i have W7 premium 64bit.I thought there might have been a way of doing it,no worries and thanks for your replies.Aastii doesn't drink people i just thought i would wind my mate up.:D

Unfortunately no, now I don't have an excuse, I didn't quite catch that one :P

And I do drink, but not much and not often.

If you go and download the link I put above, install it and run it, you can run in XP mode which will allow you to play the game
 
I'm not running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate so it would be pointless to
download the link would it not.:)
 
aah yes sorry, misread what you put a couple posts back when you said Premium :P. You can still use Virtual Box, which basically gives you a computer inside of a computer

but it is a little more fiddly than Windows Virtual PC is

It is really easy.
It is just like download it http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.0/VirtualBox-4.1.0-73009-Win.exe

And then Install Virtual box and then insert your XP cd and it is just like Doing a clean install of Windows,and when prompted select dynamically increasing storage.
And once done you can play your favourite game and also use other tools which you were not able to use with windows 7.

Pretty much. I have about 6-8 VM's installed at any one time. You do intial setup ie name it, specify OS type.
"make" a HDD (There's a tool included for this, walks you through it)
Insert your cd, have it mounted in the OS
Boot up, and install. Really, really simple. :good:
 
You can also try Wine then,it might work with Wine.
And you won't have to spend a thing. :D(Unless your internet is not unlimited)
