TMS kills my Windows7

Post by Sossenbinder » 29 Jan 2012 14:33

Hello,

i just found my old TMS cd and installed it on my Win 7 64 bit computer. As soon as i installed it, it told me to reboot in order to activate the DMR. Now the problem shows up. When i reboot it, a Window pops up telling me that windows couldnt boot up and its trying to repair, but it fails. it took me a couple of hours to get my windows and stuff back. And yes, my computer matches the requirements. Well, i browsed around a bit on the forum, but no one got the problem that TMS kills windows, they only got minor problems getting it to run.

Anyone got an idea to solve this?

TMS is not compatible with Windows 7.

There are Vista patches for the old games, which you could try at your own risk, but if they don't help then you're probably outta luck. Such is the fate of ancient games.

TMS (or TMSX) does not kill Win7.

Read this: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=24517

Works perfectly on my Win7-Pro @ 1920x1080, even on my ancient PC (intel E2180, 1GB RAM, nvidia 9600GT).

TMS works on my Windows 7 too, but I don't remember what I did to make it work.

I've 4gb Ram and TMS works on my computer, my father has 24gb Ram and TMS doesn't work on his computer.
I think Ram is for something.

Yes, 4GB, but with more RAM you need to crack it.

Same thing happens to me too on Windows 8 64Bit, with both TMO AND TMS(X). Btw Im not gonna restart my computer after reading this :0
Edit: For Windows 7 users, if you have W7 Pro or Ultimate you can download Windows XP mode to play TMS/TMO. Does't work with Home Premium.
