Okay so I am trying to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 on my computer. I know, retro game right!?

Anyway my laptop is Windows 7 but it seems to keep on crashing and can't put my finger on the problem, can anyone help at all?

Just because technology is better now doesn't mean all old games are going to work.
The majority of games released 10 years ago won't work on Windows 7.

Right click on game icon > properties > compatibility > tick "run this program in compatibility mode for:" > select '95 - run the game - go through the list of OSs til one works

As well as the compatibility thing also right click and "Run As Administrator", usually does the trick for my games.

Thanks everyone, unfortunately I have tried all the OS's and all of them crashed cheers for the advice anyway!!!

Feel that I have reignited certain addictions amongst the public...shame I can't play it for less than 30 seconds before it crashes
