Error when trying to open an old game!
- Thread starter Elisa
- Start date
First port of call should always be running the game in compatibility mode. Right click the .exe, then click properties, go to the compatibility tab, click the "run in compatibility mode" checkbox, and choose the operating system it was made for, or you remember it working on.
If that doesn't work, it's probably a problem with a certain file being missing from your PC or not where the game thinks it should be. I'd need to know what the game is to make an educated guess on how to fix that.

I've moved over to Linux*, so take this advice with a grain of salt.
According to a forum on this site, you need to download a file called bass.dll and place it in c:\windows\system\
I'm guessing this is some old game made with Klik & Play or some other Clickteam software.
*I did get Mortuum (which was made with Klik & Play) working on Linux but my version of Wine doesn't seem to have bass.dll, or if it does I can't find it

I've tried it but it didn't work.
It called Bunny Blast.
Didn't work either
Yes, you are right!
I'm waiting for any further help, thank you guys.
Did it work before on the same system, or have you got a new one it's not working on? Or have you never tried it before?
Download and install every version of the Visual C++ Redistributable. It might be looking for an older version that you don't have installed yet.
What is the game you are trying to play?

The readme does say:
"16-bit games will not run on Windows 10 and games which change your screen to a resolution not supported by your monitor will not work properly either. To run these games you will need to run Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows XP in a virtual machine or emulator (e.g. Orcacle VM VirtualBox or DOSBOX)"
