I've come across a few that I couldn't get to work, but those are emulators I haven't used in so long that I frankly can't quite remember if I ever got them to work in the first place.Īnd believe me.
At least not yet.Īctually I've had excellent success with most of the emulators under XP. And unfortunately, z26 isn't a mainstream app. It would simply take too many resources, too much time and be impossible to check everything. Since there are many tens of thousands of programs out there, they'll only investigate commercial apps and perhaps popular and well-known shareware/freeware apps. I doubt they actually analyze the programs to look for Windows/DOS calls that might cause problems (not that this is even feasible without actually running the app, which there's no way in hell they'd do). They then scan your hard drive for these programs on your hard drive, either by looking at the filename or possibly even opening up every executable and DLL to look at information embedded in the file. My guess is Microsoft built up a database of apps known to have problems. I'm not too surprised that it didn't detect z26. When I upgraded it only picked up on a couple of old 4D Sports games(driving and boxing - remember them? driving games have come a long way!) but it didnt mention the Z26 emulator so I didnt think there would be a problem. Finally, select the operating system you want to emulate, in this case Windows 7.Īpply and OK the properties and try running the application again.When you install xp as an upgrade it very politely scans all your hardware and software to check for any compatibility problems. Select the Compatibility tab, then place a tick in the compatibility mode box. At this point, right-click on that file & click properties. In the new explorer window, the application executable will be highlighted. If you right-click on the application shortcut and click Open File Location.
If that doesn't work, there is the option to manually set the compatibility mode. When you run this, you will then be able to select the program that is causing you issues, and it will see if there is anything it can do.ĭuring this process, you will be able to select the operating system you want to emulate for this application. Windows 10 has a handy tool that might be able to help you here for the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter on your Windows 10 machine.
