• I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.


  • Hi huntdax and welcome to the forum.

    If you are unable to sort this problem, you might like to know that many of us play using free tripleA s/w.

    This includes a variety of maps, so you can pick and choose the A&A game / variant you wish to play.

    You can play against the computer or against other members of this forum online, or via e-mail, or via posts to the forum.

    If any of this becomes relevant, look for Gargantua’s KISS instructions on the s/w board.

    Good luck.

  • Yeah, I started that Triple A too.  So maybe I will see you on there.

    Sometimes it is nice to be able to play against AI too :)

    Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

    Give it a try.
