Is there any way to get that old game Vigilance to work on Windows XP?

Recommended Posts

I hope some pc wiz can help my kids on this one. We bought Segasoft Vigilance on the cheap from the local pc store but it won't even instal. Seems it is incompatible with Windows XP. Is there a clever workaround to get the game to work on Windows XP? Any way at all?

No, unfortunately the compatability wizard drew a blank too. The game gets to the install screen, you press the button "install" and then ... zip, nothing, no response or action at all.

 

Has anyone got any other ideas that may help? My kids are dying to play this one.

 

Thanks in anticipation

I see *some* reports that this works on windows 2000.... maybe you could try the win 2000 option in the compatability mode?

 

Other than that most reports say win 95 (obviously!). You can try a virtual machine (follow the instrctions for scumm VM on this page):

and maybe here too:

Also a general look around the above site may prove useful

Thanks ScinteX. I'll give it a go. The virtual machine option sounds like it might be a goer, even if it isn't for this particular game.

 

Much appreciated.
