    Old game: How do I make it work?


    Hi guys! I've owned the game "Alpine Ski Racing 2007" (RTL) for many years and wanted to ask if anyone knows how to get it running again! Unfortunately, I always get the following error message: Error loading x64 Driver. Did you forget to reboot? (despite repeated booting and compatibility mode)! Does anyone know how to reboot? Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Wanting to run old games

    Hi Jameson,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

    Explore Windows 10 OS, Computers, Apps, & More | Microsoft

    You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
    Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


          • Right-click on the game 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 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

    When I updated to windows 10 my old 101 puzzle and logic games are not working

    Hello,

    I appreciate if you could answer a
    few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • How did you installed these games on your Computer? Is it through CD/DVD or Windows Store?
    • When you say, "old 101 puzzle" are you referring to Microsoft Jigsaw puzzles?

    As you have already tried different troubleshooting steps with no avail, I suggest you to contact the game manufacturer regarding this matter for assistance and check if this helps.

    Write to us with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
