Hi: I want to streamline my PC as much as possible. Thus, please tell me if removing the following programs from my PC is safe to free up RAM: Compaq Organize HP Deskjet Preloaded Printer Drivers HP PSC & OfficeJet 3.0 InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 InterVideo WinDVD Player Memories Disk Creator 2.0 MusicMatch Jukebox RecordNow! Photosmart 140, 240, 7200, 7600, 7700, 7900 Series

Negative, Jmmijo and DosFreak. It won't allow me to copy the Microsoft Error Report. I was only able to copy this: C:\DOCUME~1\ERICKC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\b861_appcompat.txt Is there a way to open this file up so we can review the technical information?

Unfortunately, copy-and-paste is disabled and thus I cannot share the Microsoft Error Report. Something tells me that I encounter this error because Windows XP is missing a certain piece of code or file which Windows 95 has. And that's what is causing the error. But because I cannot copy-and-paste the Microsoft Error Report, we'll never know. It seems that downloading Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007 is my only solution. Do I need to own a copy of the desired Operating System to use it? Or is every obsolete Windows Operating System built into the software? Also, in case you didn't know, Virtual PC 2007 is not compatible for Windows XP Home Edition. But does that mean it won't work? Or just that Microsoft hasn't tested it using XP Home Edition? Erick

Good solution, Peter. And ironically, I planned on it as my last alternative. If I were to copy-and-paste the Microsoft Error Report here, would somebody be able to decipher it to pinpoint the problem and find a possible solution?

Yes, Danleff--complete malware protection. I've removed the file. Thank you and ThatSteveGuy for your assistance.

Compatibility Wizard does not solve the problem, either. The game plays perfect until the end of the 1st period. That's when I get a black screen with an accompanying Microsoft Error Report. If I were to copy-and-paste the full Microsoft Error Report, would that be of help?

C:\Windows\System32\msfdje.gif Should I delete this file?

I did that, but no success.

I am attempting to play NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge via DOSBox. The game is Windows 95 compatible. Are PC games designed for Windows 95 compatible with DOSBox? When I input the command to run said game, I encounter the error: This program cannot run in DOS mode. Did I do something wrong, or is said game incompatible with DOSBox? Is Virtual Box an OS emulation program, or do you need to own a licensed copy of the desired OS to run it; e.g., Windows 95? Do freeware Windows 95/97 emulators exist? If so, where can I download them? Your assistance is much appreciated.

1) I use a Compaq 7550 monitor, and the default screen resolution is 1024 x 768. However, I do have the option of increasing it to the maximum 1600 x 1200. If I do that, will I damage my monitor? 2) I use a VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP video card, and need to know where I should go to update my older drivers. As always, any info is greatly appreciated.

Why can I play NHL 99, 2000 and 2001 on Windows XP in 3D Accelerated Mode, but everytime I try to play NHL 98 in 3D Accelerated Mode, the game crashes at the pre-game team match-up screen? And why are certain black in-game objects partially lime green in Software Renderer Mode? As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

After much trial and error I found the solution, so a mod can close or delete this thread if they wish.

3DSetup: NHL 99 3D Renderer: Software Renderer Direct3D Device 1 3DSetup: NHL 2000 3D Renderer: Software Renderer Three questions. Why do I have the Direct3D Device 1 option in 3DSetup: NHL 99 from the drop-down list, but not for 3DSetup: NHL 2000? Note: I copied the NHL 99 3dsetup file into the NHL 2000 setup folder, but encountered an error. Is it possible to use the Direct3D Device 1 option as NHL 2000's 3D renderer like NHL 99, and if so how? Or must I use Software Renderer? Any help is greatly appreciated.
