I wonder if this is still a thing. Jon Ross, who wrote the original version of SimCity for Windows 3.x, told me that he accidentally left a bug in SimCity where he read memory that he had just freed. Yep. It worked fine on Windows 3.x, because the memory never went anywhere. Here’s the amazing part …

I know this is very weird but here it goes: My machine is Dell Inspirion I7 desktop and I'm curious how you'd go about installing Windows 10 or even Windows 7 32 bits WITHOUT erasing my Win 10 64 bit build? I partitioned my harddrive with like 50GB of space and named it Windows 10 32 bit for a …

What does white lists on the compatibility chart mean? Or is that too racist to ask on here? 🤷‍♂️ It shows Carmen Sandiego 1996 on a white category with no info.

Yeah I use CPU Kill and moved it down to 75 percent which didn't affect things at all. Sim City 3000 still bounced from one end to another so I have to use the middle zoom level and be careful. On my Windows 10PC the Widscreen hack seems to fix it when I set it to my resolution so I tried that on …

In one case you mention Windows 98 SE and in one case you do not mention the SE part. So the first step is to look at what we are dealing with here, are both versions the second edition? If not then its likely that Windows 98 being older is the issue and you may have to source some other updates. …
