Guzzle Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I have a star trek encyclopedia on CD 1997 era. It won't seem to run on my Vista Laptop. Is there any software I can load to correct the problem? Quote

RandyL Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I doubt it Guzzle. It's just to old and the formats have changed too much. There may be work arounds such as dual booting but not third party applications. Although others may have more on this. You could try running the exe file in compatability mode but if it was for Windows 95 or 98 I doubt that too. I miss some of my old software too. Quote We are all members helping other members.
