Bought game at yard sale for the kids. Game is windows 95 ready. current system is vista. cannot find patch. game will not load into system because os missing requirements.

Consider that perhaps that program is not compatible with your current computer/OS/video card, etc.
Happens.

You might be able to find a torrent for it. www.thepiratebay.org

Yes there is a patch, it can be found here: http://ewarzone.com/aa.html After installing the patch if it still doesn't work, right click on the program and try "Run as Administrator".

First make sure your have downloaded all automatic updates to Vista. You may find that a game that was not compatible will now load. If that doesn't work, try a patch for the game. http://askville.amazon.com/OREGON-TRAIL-VERSION-GAME-COMPATIBLE-WINDOWS-VISTA/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=13345235
If all else fails, you can purchase newer versions here: http://www.kidssoftwareoutlet.com/Oregon-Trail-s/144.htm&Click=6972

Yes you will get patch from www.torrentz.com

a large number of older games do not work on vista, they are incompatible, you can either download the patch from the games site, which i see youve tried and it did not work, in this case, try to run the program in windows xp SP2 mode. to do this, fidn the application or executive file, it will have .exe at the end of the filename or will say application, then right click it, properties, compatibility, then check the box to run in compatibility mode for:, then choose for Windows XP (Service Pack 2), use those settings then try it again, if it still doesnt work then you simple can not use that game on vista. your last option you can try has a small risk of virus, only because it is user created, but seacrh the internet for a patch that allows it to work on vista. some people make their own patches to allow the program to work on vista.

rty and run it in compatibilty mode as most games wont run on vista.

and look for a patch for the game to run on vista.

happy gameing

do you mean the sims 1 or 2?

well, you can run either one of them in compatibility mode, rightclick the exe or shortcut, press options, press compatibility (if i'm right, my pc is in another language) and choose windows XP service pack 2

good luck

I have lost product key window vista utlimate, please u can give me with send window vista utlimate product key cd now..

Well sir that depends on the game itself, whether its creators want to make patches to play it on vista or not, try seeing the game author's site for more information.
