Installing older games on Windows 7

**Purgatory** · 05-01-2010, 12:50 AM

Ok, so I got this nifty HP All in One with Windows 7 on it today. It's got a nice ATI Radeon chip and HD. I tried to install a few games, of which only one actually works.

Black & White 2 came out 5 years ago and works like a charm, whereas Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 doesn't. It installs then puts a shortcut to the .exe file, but that file isn't in the folder. Is it possible that some security thing in 7 prevented the .exe from installing? This is the first experience I've had with windows 7 and any help would be awesome.

Thanks guys.
