Alien versus Predator Gold - graphics problems

Mangusti

I'm having some weird graphical problems with AVPG. The menus work fine after renaming the avp. exe, but in the game itself everything except the HUD is pitch black and if I move the mouse around the HUD becomes blurred.

how to hitman codename 47 with xpsp2

doodad

Do not attempt to install from the install popup. Exit out of that and open the drive that the hitman codename 47 disk is in. Find the setup icon and right click it with your mouse cursor. Next, click on properties at the bottom of the selections.

Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! under Win2k

Vaelor

Hi all, I am tearing my hair out trying to get LSL7 running on my Windows 2000 Pro SP4 machine. It's one of those godawful hybrid games that was made when DOS was dying but Windows wasn't widespread yet, so it claims to be compatible with DOS, Win3.

I run the install file from the cd drive, and the menu does not ask me to which hard drive I want to install the game, it's default target drive is E, and when E isn't found, the installation stops without an option to choose another drive.

Machines.exe not a valid Win32 application

Boter

Machines is a great game that seems very underrated. However, Acclaim never bothered to release a Windows XP patch, and none of the settings I've tried for a compatibility mode have worked yet. I've downloaded Windows Application Combatibility Toolkit, but it's not one of the many games that toolkit includes.
