Your best bet is to probably run these games under Windows XP using a virtual machine or a physical computer running XP. These games have not been updated in years and years. I’m starting to think as we progress forward, there may come a day when they cease to function at all.
If you really want to try to get them to run under Windows 10, try running the executables using the command line. I heard that someone was successful doing that. Press Windows x and look for command prompt admin. When you launch it, type in a command like “cd c:\Program Files\Blast Chamber” and hit enter. I may have the path incorrect. Check the file path before attempting this. Once in that folder, I think you have to tab to the pipe.exe file and hit enter. Again, I’m not certain if these steps will work as I do not like or use versions of Windows past XP. I run a virtual copy of Windows XP on my MacBook Air and a physical copy on my old 2006 Mac mini and I am happy that I can play these old games with no silly compatibility issues. I still think Windows XP (was and still is) the best version of Windows Microsoft ever came out with. This will not change until the day Microsoft finally does the right thing and creates a talking installer with Narrator. However, I may be dead before that happens. > On Oct 25, 2016, at 9:22 PM, Arianna Sepulveda <englishride...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > So, I ran the checkup tool, and I'm still getting the same error.
