Older windows games on my laptop?
Is there any way that I can play games made for windows 95-98 on my newer laptop (vista)? I have Sim theme park, tetris elements and a few others. I put the disc in my disc drive, but it seems as if it doesn't recognize it. Is there a program that I can use to convert my game, or is this not possible?
Thank you!

If you installed Sun's free Virtual Box, and then, installed and ran Windows 98 (CD required), then, yes, those Games may actually run.
But, as you just learned, XP, Vista and Windows 7, won't even recognize any CD that old, and even if they could, they would never be playable.
The SIMS, and Tetris are available for all 3 of these modern Operating Systems. It's way easier to upgrade the Games, than to try to install 98 on your PC.
