  1. 32 Bit games not running


    So fairly recently I thought of downloading a old game I used to play all the time on my moms windows XP computer The game is called magic inlay and it played perfectly on XP I downloaded it off the same exact site and everything so I'm sure it's not the game. The game is 32-bit I've tried running it in compatibility mode on windows XP service pack 2 & 3 also as admin but it just takes me to a loading screen that flashes white I've tried waiting for a really long time for it since it plays the menu music but it seems to never work. Does someone have any suggestions or a app that can run it? Any advice is helpful! ​

    :)

    Hello Bill,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums. We are glad to help you.



    I suggest you to try installing the games in compatibility mode.

    Follow these steps to install the games in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


    • Download the games from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
      ‘properties’
      .

    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists


    Hope this information helps. Feel free to contact us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thanks and regards,

    Jenith

    32 Bit games not running

    Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

    Hi,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • What is the name of the game?
    If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

    There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

    Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
    us.



    For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)

    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

    Thanks and Regards.
