I got a message saying NTVDM (DOS emulator) was needed so I let the system search and install it . That old Tetris game works fine! The reason that worked, is your Win10 Preview must have been the 32 bit one. A 16 bit application should still work on that. Paul |

Paul Yep, 32 bit The only way I could get my old Tetris to work on my wife's 64bit Win7 machine as to install XP in a virtual machine. I just leave Tetris running, then "save state" |

I just leave Tetris running, then "save state" If it's a DOS program, you could try DOSBOX. Not only would it let you run it on 64-bit Windows, but even Linux and Mac's. It's a win3x application and I think I might have tried DOSBOX first. Basically I just did it for the heck of it. There is no need for me to have Tetris on my wife's machine anyway. |
