Which version did you have? The Creatures 3 CD version? I know it's sometimes possible to get it working on newer systems, but you might consider checking out the GOG.com version of Creatures Exodus, which I've had working on Windows 7 for some time now with little to no trouble. Hope this helps you out! |

Thank you Jessica! =) What I meant thought was I bought a new Dell computer after my windows 7 broke. I have the Creatures 3 disc thought. I'm hoping I can get it on my Dell cause I lost my genetic breed project I was going to post. * cries in corner for my little genetic piggy norn experiment* lol Just your neighborhood Youkai dropping by =) |

You might have to twiddle around with some of the compatibility settings - are you running Windows 8.1 now, or Windows 7 still? My TCR Norns |

I have a rather old post about installing C3 on Windows Vista via the disc. I know it worked for some people... No idea if it would work for Windows 7, but it might be worth a shot! And maybe that will spark someone to remember if there have been similar directions posted somewhere else for Windows 7. I can't think of any off the top of my head. GOG.com is typically my go-to recommendation. That's a shame about your genetic breed. I hope you can pick up the project somehow and maybe continue on with it soon! |

I would advise you, in order to solve a lot of trouble down the line... if you get the GOG.com version, make sure that you go to Options during install, and install both albian years and exodus to C:/Users/.../Documents/Creatures/ [without the "Albian years" or "Exodus" in the path] Each individual game will get its own folder in that Creatures folder. If you ever install it to the regular location, it will still put a lot of files in that documents/creatures folder (including some it shouldn't that will need to be copied back to programs), and you will have problems installing many agents because of that and other issues because of UAC... You will also have a LOT of trouble moving it... it leaves a bunch of garbage in the registry, and will never fully uninstall... you need to install it to the right place first because in order to install it anywhere else and have it work, you will have to go through the registry and change like 50 keys...

@ Malkin: I'm assuming it is a 8.1, the sticker on the bottom of the computer says 8. =) @Jessica: xD My brother got it working for me when I played it on my Windows 7. So if there is a will there is a way. XD I have to agree it was a shame. They were interesting little critters, I wish I would have posted them for everyone else to experiment with. =) @ Evolnemesis: I shall attempt installing it. Can't promise I won't mess it up in the process. Thank you all for your help so far! =D I'm going to attempt to install it from GoG.com real quick as a test.

Did you apply the settings? Once you choose the correct modes under "List All Modes" and click OK, you also need to click OK/Apply in the main settings window. Not sure why this wouldn't be working... If you have any other details or the exact phrasing, that might help spark some other ideas. |
