Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3

I have finally located a download of subject pack. when I attempt to install
it and play Fuji Golf on my Win 7 X64 machine I get the msg. that it is not
compatible with my windows version.

Can anyone tell me how I Install/run a Win95 game Win7 X64 machine?

This is just a guess.

If it's a 16 bit game, your options would be:

1) Upgrade the OS, such that you can run "WinXP Mode". The
idea being, WinXP Mode is 32 bit, and still handles 16 bit
applications. When in WinXP mode, applications don't draw
directly to the screen, and RDP protocol is used for the output.

2) Change the installation to Win7 X32. The 32 bit version would
allow 16 bit applications. 64 bit is backward compatible with
32 bit, but doesn't do 16 bit.

3) Keep a legacy computer around, to run legacy stuff.

How do I upgrade from Win 7 Ultimate X64 to run 16bit programs???

No there is no upgrade for your system. Your only choice is downgrade
to XP but this is strictly not advisable. I don't know about Fuji Golf
so I can't be of any further help here but it looks like your anti-virus
program might be restricting you or that the download file must be corrupt..

I'd also suggest a virtual machine, such as VMware (it's free) and a
paid for version of XP.

It really isn't an upgrade but more a component installation. You need
to download and install the XP Mode component from Microsoft.

XP Mode is only availble for Business and Ultimate versions. I don't
think it will install with the Home versions.

Also, if you right-click the .EXE file, you can try one of the
Compatiblity modes.

Have you tried running the compatibility troubleshooter wizard?

The claim here is, they're 16 bit games.

If you have Windows 7 Professional or above, install Windows XP Mode
and your games will play. (XP Mode is a free download from
Microsoft.com, but if you have Windows Home Premium or below you
won't be able to install it.)

If you have Home Premium or below, and you also have a spare license
for XP, install VirtualBox or VMWare Player, install a Windows XP
virtual machine, and your games will play.
