Trying to Install/Run Panzer General...

[Keebler Elf]

I'm trying to install/run the old Panzer General game on my Vista 64 system. I got it to work on XP but apparently it won't work with Vista b/c DOS is gone.

I checked out this site but the install seems pretty complicated. http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Main_Page

Can anyone help?

If it's a 32bit game it won't run on a 64bit system without some tricky modifications.
Totally different architecture.

Did you try changing the game's compatibility properties to an older OS? Just right click the file you use to launch the game, select properties, then Compatibility tab...and select an older OS from the drop down list.

When I try to run the install command from the CD I get a message telling me it's incompatible.

No surprise there.
I get the same message when trying to run my old Atari 2600 games on my PC!

I hate when that happens!...
