Thank you so much for your reply, patience and help. Almost all the terms you used are new to me, confusing and intimidating. Could we try this? I will erase everything, and download the game again. Then what? Step by step. I own WinZip, ImgBurn and VirtualCloneDrive. but I don't know the EXACT steps to take, in order, to make this work.............

As you can see from the linked page, it states that the game was published in 2003. As you can see from the link inside my post, it is a Windows game. And, as far as I know, Windows contains something called Compatibility Mode. That really isn't likely to be the issue. I think the issue is, I have never done this before, and it turns out not to be intuitive. The problem is, I need something STEP BY STEP to guide me. I don't normally unzip files or convert files. To me, 99 percent of the menu of IMGBURN is gibberish, meaningless. I dont' want to learn everything there is to know about IMGBURN.......all I want is to play the game with minimum hassle.

When I try to launch, getting error: C:/Users/beatcat/appData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/GameExplorer/{a7b5a4a4-c2ca-4a4.../Play.Ink is not a valid Win32 application Thank you for your patience. Using Windows 7. I am searching for something that will guide me, step by step for my SPECIFIC situation. By that I mean, I don't want to have to read and read and plow through learning how to become an expert. I just want to play a game, not get a college degree in computer engineering. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dino-crisis-2-c76#download Used WinZip to unzip it. Then tried using IMGBURN to create an ISO file. Really have no idea at all what I am doing, first time trying to do this. I ended up with a CD ROM. At first, the game sort of played the animated intro to the game, over and over, with no menu every showing up. Now, There is a menu to install the game, uninstall, and to install two other things, can't remember the names. I installed those to other things, like DirectX something. No matter what I do or click on, the game will not launch. My best guess is I need yet ANOTHER piece of software now, to make the computer play this?
