I play a lot of games in the computer, and road rash is one of my favourites, yesterday I purchased road Rash 2 as I got it in a bargain price. Latter on, after coming home, I found out that my computer is having vista and road rash2 will not work in vista. Now I have a game which nobody can play.

There are couple of things that you can try. If you are not able to run the setup itself,
1. I think Vista only warns you against the installation. If this is the case, you can ignore the warning and continue installation.

2. Try to run it in compatibility mode. To do this, go to the properties of the setup file of roadrash> compatibility. Here choose to run the file in Windows XP mode.

Most likely the game setup won't run, sometimes it may....

If you are able to install the game but cannot run,
3. Try changing the compatibility mode of the roadrash2.exe file to Windows XP.
4. You can install Windows XP as dual boot or better, just install MS Virual Computer and install Windows XP inside virtual computer and the game inside that virtual computer i.e. under XP. You can download Virtual Computer from download.microsoft.com.
Virtual Computer is a software that can run an operating system inside it. i.e. after starting Vista, you will have to run Virtual computer and then run Windows Xp inside that. Then from that Windows XP you can run the Game.

Sorry man, I have this problem too. I buy old games which I had dreamed of when I do not own a laptop, and when now I own they don't run, 'coz I have vista too. Most probable solution is to revert back to XP SP2, even new games run both in vista and xp.

Thanks for the response shaan, I think you are like me, I have also dreamed of playing and becoming a master in Road Rash, and other old games. rolleyes

Thanks for the response, denghells, but if I call a technician, he may charge me more than the rate which I had paid for the game. Well let me try dual boot system. confused
