Ears14U: I've been having tons of problems with the last 3 DOS games I've purchased from GOG. Most if not all of these games are considered abandonware games from somewhere in the world. I'm better off d/l'ing them free just to see if they will run on a Win 7 64bit rig. This really blows.

Update: I downloaded an abandonware Imperialism #1, and it works superb! No crashes, and no DOS box needed. Imagine that. You unRAR it, then run the .executable file and it's fine. I did change the executable to compatibility mode for Windows 95.
both Imperialism games were developed for Windows and neither will run under DOS

Heh, I'm running Win 7 (Professional, 64-bit) and I didn't have to do anything. I don't even know what "DEP" is or stands for. And it ran whether or not the setting was on change desktop to in game resolution or not. And I've not had a single crash in over 6 and a half games now.

So weird. And then other games I can't get to run right and come on here and see others inevitably post about them not having issues. I guess I know what it's like on the other side now.

These confounded machines have personalities, I swear to Dog they do.
