WIN 7 COMES IN TWO VERSIONS, 32 AND 64 BIT VERSIONS. THE OLD XP VERSION COULD ONLY USE 4 GIGS OF MEMORY. WIN 7 CAN USE 10 GIGS OF RAM AND I THINK THE 64 BIT VERSION CAN USE 16 GIGS OF MEMORY.
WHAT THIS MEANS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP OPEN A LOT MORE PROGRAMS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME- YOU GOT MORE MEMORY.
THE 64 BIT VERSION AND MAYBE THE 32 BIT VERSION- IS THE NEW AND FUTURE UP COMING OPERATING SYSTEMS. THESE SYSTEMS NEED PROGRAMS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE NEW AVAILABLE "MORE MEMORY" FOR FASTER COMPUTING. OLD PROGRAMS BUILT FOR THE WINDOWS XP OPERATING SYSTEMS WILL NOT WORK ON THE NEW WIN 7 SYSTEMS-------> BUT
BUT HERE IS THE DEAL, WIN 7 HAS A BUILT IN FEATURE- IT IS SORTA AN XP WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM BUILT INSIDE OF WIN 7 WINDOWS. YOU GET THE NEW WIN 7 WITH A "VIRTUAL" XP OPERATING SYSTEM. IT IS SORTA LIKE A CLOWN- WIN 7 IS THE CLOWN AND XP IS THE BALLS THE CLOWN IS THROWING UP AND JUGGLING UP IN THE AIR.
YOU HAVE A MAKE BELIEVE XP SYSTEM INSIDE WIN 7 THAT IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING MOST OF THE OLD XP PROGRAMS LIKE YOUR DRAG RACING GAME. THE VIRTUAL XP IS NOT PERFECT AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE GLITCHES. YOUR NOT REALLY TRYING TO RUN YOUR GAME ON WIN 7 BUT TRYING TO GET IT TO RUN ON AN INSTALLED PROGRAM INSIDE OF WIN 7 PROGRAM ON A VIRTUAL XP PROGRAM.
I HAVE THE 64 BIT VERSION OF WIN 7- EVENTUALLY ALL WINDOWS COMPUTERS WILL USE THIS OPERATION SYSTEM SO PROGRAMS CAN EXCESS MORE THAN JUST 4 GIGS OF MEMORY. I'VE TRIED MAYBE 50 OF MY OLD XP PROGRAMS ON MY WIN 7- ALL OF THEM SEEM TO WORK OK BUT I DO HAVE SOME KIND OF ANNOYING GLITCH WITH WIN 7. WHEN I CHANGE UP MY PROGRAMS TO THE WAY I LIKE TO USE THEM AND EVEN MY WINDOWS FOLDERS AND PAGES-- ABOUT EVER MONTH EVERYTHING GETS RESET TO THE DEFAULT SETTINGS AND I LOOSE HOURS OF WORK GETTING THINGS THE WAY I LIKE 'EM.
NOW BACK TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION- YOUR DISC SHOULD BE JUST FINE TO GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL XP OPERATING SYSTEM. MOST DISC ARE SET TO AUTO PLAY- INSERT THE DISC AND CLOSE THE TRAY AND IN A MINUTE THE DISC WILL START TO PLAY.
SOMETIMES MY AUTO-PLAY FEATURE GETS CORRUPTED IN XP AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY START THE DISC TO PLAYING. USUALLY JUST REBOOT YOUR XP COMPUTER AND THE AUTO-PLAY FEATURE WILL REPAIR ITSELF.
TO MANUALLY START THE DRAG RACING GAME DISC IN XP OR WIN 7, CLICK THE START BUTTON- FIND "COMPUTER" DOUBLE CLICK THE COMPUTER ICON AND THEN LOOK AT YOUR DRIVES AND ONE SHOULD HAVE THE NAME OF THE GAME YOU INSERTED- FIND THE DRIVE THE GAME IS INSTALLED IN AND DOUBLE CLICK IT AND THE GAME SHOULD RUN.
IF IT IS A REALLY OLD GAME IT JUST MAY BE TO OLD TO RUN ON YOUR NEW WINDOWS- MOST XP THINGS WILL RUN BUT NOT EVERYTHING WILL RUN ON YOUR NEW WIN 7 SYSTEM.
