got this old games Stars! http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/stars/index.html and i want it to work on my new 64-bit vista machine. I couldn't install it so i took my external and installed the game on that with my friends older computer and brought it to my computer. I've right clicked and set the compadablility to 98 and 95 and they don't work. I just downloaded Dosbox and it didn't work. I did some research and found that its a 16-bit game and i got vista 64-bit and it will probably never play. Any chances of me getting this game to work?

generally speaking
dosbox should be perfect to run a 16bit game on a 64bit machine too

it's a matter of knowing what the correct settings and mounting syntax to apply are

there are guides for this e.g.
DOSBox Guides
then there's just trying it, either 32 or 64bit
