[Timse95]

I dont yeat have LBA on my computer because the cd is on my sister, so has enybody had LBA work on windows 7 or the 64 bit?

Then the Lba2, when im trying to push the "install" my computer says that the program cannot be run on Windows 64 bit. So it just dont work. Enybody have a solution for this?

Easiest answer is to use DosBOX. A guide can be found here.

I got them both working (almost) perfectly with DOSBox.

Sorry for putting this up again, but is there any way to make LBA2 work on Windows 7 64bit without the DosBox? A patch maybe? You know I tried to work with DosBox but I don't get along wit it very well, I also tried VirtualBox but it lags really bad there... Any other suggestions?

FunnyFrog's patch exists, but I have no idea whether it can run on a 64-bit system. It might be 16 bit, I'm not sure. The patch is a rather dirty hack, it causes some sound issues and several people experience problems with steering their car.

The GOG version works with no problem in Windows 7 64bit for me. I think that's the best option to play it in Windows 7.

[Kobold]

Are you sure the GOG version doesn't just use Dosbox?

[Polaris]

It does.

[Necdilzor]

What Polaris said, it does. I just wanted to add that GOG's version works with Windows 7.

Thank you Could tell me what I should do with the exes? (sorry I'm a total noob with PC's) When I click on the EXE its written that I need mss32.dll and when I downloaded mss32.dll my Pc told me that it's damaged And there is nothing important in the "ReadMe" Data...

Else, copy the other file.

The Problem is: I'm not even able to install it at all, when I try it, the message about Windows 7 can't run this already pops up...

Then, Dosbox...
I don't think there's a more simple way (except buying it from GoG).
