MCHover Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 So, when I was trying to install LEGOLAND on my Windows 7 computer, I had some trouble. When I try to install it from the cd, it tells me that it can't run in 64-bit. So of course, I tried to run it in compatibility mode, but with no luck. If anyone can help with this (probably common) problem, I would surely appreciate it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I had to run mine on a seperate 32bit machine to work. I haven't tried emulation though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHover Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can you recommend any emulators that might would do the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenyx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you have Windows 7 Ultimate? If so you can run the program in XP mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHover Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 No unfortunately not... I'm just running Home Premium. But if you knew any good 32-bit / x86 emulators I would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, I will have to find such one somewhere then. No need to have more trouble than necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbuh9494 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you find one and you could tell me, that would be amazing. I've been trying to get this game to work on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop for ages and it seems as if I've tried every single method, to no avail. I first downloaded DOSBox, which didn't work. I then installed the game on my old Windows XP laptop and then put all the files on a USB drive. I then transferred them over to my Windows 7 laptop. It would open and start when I put it on 640x480 screen res, but then it would skip over the intro video and cut scenes, and when I tried to start the first level it would boot me out. Then I went back to compatibility and set it to Windows XP SE2, which gave me the LEGO logo screen -- but it froze in the middle of the logo screen, preventing me from playing the game. This has been driving me batty. Does anyone have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Eight-Three-One Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It seems like they made the installer 16-bit. Yeah, as time went on, that turned out to be an incredibly dumb idea. They made it that way to tell you that Windows 3.1 users couldn't play the game, which was a 16-bit OS. Basically making it only playable on a 32-bit and 32-bit only. It did work on my dad's former Vista (Now 7) laptop when I ran it as administrator. It's a 32-bit though, so I can't really provide much help. Never tried it on a VM, but I don't feel compelled to.

Numbuh9494 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm really tempted to just give up and say there's no workaround besides going through the effort of running it through a VM. I can't find a proper emulator, either, which is also disconcerting. I'll keep looking and I'll post if I find anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Eight-Three-One Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well, if you want an emulator, you need to get an install CD from eBay. Sorry, but in order to run the operating system, you need the OS itself. And yeah, you simply can't install it on your main computer. If it's 16-bit and you're running a 64-bit, it's simply not possible. And trust me when I say this, Compatibility Mode has rarely ever done diddly-squat for me. Don't put your hopes on it.

Numbuh9494 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 You're right -- I had to install it on my old Windows XP laptop. I think I'll just play it there. It'll save me some headache! Thanks for your help, though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
