  1. CD-ROM Games


    I'm trying to run a CD-ROM game that's compatible for Windows 3.1 and 95. I know that there's a way to run other Windows version, but I'm not sure how to do it for CD games. I tried following directions from another post, but there's no compatiblity tab when I click 'Properties,' as well as no working results from searching the internet. Is there a way to do this?

    :)

  2. cannot locate cd rom

    Hi Teodor,

    There is a possibility that the game you are playing requires the physical disc inserted on the CD-ROM for authentication purposes. We suggest that you get in touch with the game developer for another option on how to play the game without inserting the
    CD-ROM.

    Regards.
