How to Run 32 Bit Games on 64 bit OS

With the rise of 64-bit operating systems and the performance increases that come with them, many gamers have decided to upgrade from their old 32-bit system to a 64-bit one. However, while almost all 32-bit games will run flawlessly on a 64-bit system, sometimes compatibility issues will occur with older games. To help with the running of these games, Windows has included a "compatibility mode." By using this mode, you should be able to run most older games on your system.

Instructions

1. Find the main game file. It will often end in the suffix .exe.

2. Right-click on the file and select "Properties."




3. Click on the tab labeled "Compatibility." It is located at the top of the newly opened window.




4. Select the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"



5. Use the drop-down window to select the mode in which you want to run the game--Windows XP Service   Pack 2, Windows Vista or Windows 98 being only a few.

6. Click "Apply" in the bottom right corner of the window and then click "Ok."

7. Double-click the game file to run the game in compatibility mode every time.
