I played Frogger 3D not that long ago, on a Windows 7, 64-bit version, even without nGlide, it should work perfectly normal for you. And regarding music - weren't those CD-DA tracks?

who told you you can use msdos ?
i was asking what the hell is a ms prompt ?

have you installed the game ?
install to c:\games\frogger (dont install in program files or program files(x86)
is your windows version 64bit ?
is the frogger installer 16bit or 32bit ?

The Frogger installer is 32-bit. The Frogger game is 32-bit and uses DirectX. I've also played the game in 64-bit Windows 7.

no i do not see that. I run the frogger.exe from the disk and run thru the wizard and installs fine but when i launch it doesnt work. just get the MS crash report sorry didnt know you meant that. says to send or dont send annoying popup. my specs are Windows 7 pro 64bit, I3 processor, biostar, 8gig of ram. nvidia 8800gts video card.

thank you but i have installed it on windows 7 and it crashes i get the send to MS Prompt, send or dont send. thats it. i do use a cd crack of course because i dont want to keep the cd in it.

Does it work if you don't use the CD crack? Maybe you have a CD crack for the wrong version.

There's no way to fix that in Windows 7. Windows 7 took out MCI CD audio functions.

What about using XP Mode? I know that's not available for Windows 8, but it's present for Windows 7.
