Here's how to install the older Nancy Drew games on Windows Vista. It works for a lot of other older games, too. All you have to do is make a folder for the game, and install to that folder instead of the default folder.

  • Hmm...I was trying to install Secrets Can Kill because its the only one I havent played, and I made the new folder in My Documents...it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

  • I dunno.

  • Pajama Sam!!! I love that game, was the 3 one the one with food groups? Waaaa, I wish i knew this before i got rid of my games...

  • Yeah, #3 is the one with the food groups. I need to make a walkthrough for that one someday.

    CHOOSE COMPACT (TOP ONE)

    don't install direct x

    don't run game

    exit install

    go to game folder and find game.exe

    right click, properties, compat tab

    run as win 98

    run as admin

  • Worked great on Windows 7, too! Thanks!

  • @ioddandodd HAHA i HATE those puzzles!!!!

  • @MusicMagikful

    indeed, he make some of the games much more barable; i never really liked a few of the newer ones, dont know why but i never liked playing them. i thout the puzzle where cruel and unfair sometimes X)

  • @ioddandodd oh well.... at least we can watch Michael play:)

  • @MusicMagikful

    but when i tryed to play the game it was all 'We change are sound systems! :D restart and have fun!'

    i whent to the Her interactive site and they where no help.
