Hi, I hope someone will know how to help me. I have Riven from the Myst Trilogy edition, and I can't install it on my new computer running Windows 7 64-bit. I've tried running setup in compatibility mode, but I just keep getting an error about running it on a 64-bit system: 'The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher'. Does anyone know a way around this?
I really want to play my game I truly appreciate any insight or solutions. Welcome to the Forums! In general, 1.
Install Riven to your C: drive. Be certain that Riven saves its game progress files to your C: drive. If you have a very small C: that's reserved for system files only, install Riven to D. Be certain that Riven saves its game progress files to D. Start Riven from a fresh boot.
Reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges (NOT into a Limited User or Power User account), and close all open applications. Disable all anti-virus/spyware/adware/pop-up programs running in the background. If you have only a software firewall, do NOT disable it.
Do NOT run any other programs before starting Riven. Never boot up with a disc in any disc drive. If the Riven CD autostarts when inserted into the drive, cancel back to the Desktop.
Always start Riven with the Desktop shortcut/start icon, NOT from the CD menu. Riven is a 32-bit program.
Depending on the capabilities of your PC, running Riven with Win 7 64-bit may result in problems like choppy video and/or sound, random black frames, lockups, etc. This is because of the significant additional processing overhead required to run 32-bit software in 64-bit mode. Suggestions: 1. Update your video, sound, and mouse (or touchpad/mouse) drivers to the latest 64-bit versions from your PC manufacturer's website. (Be certain to download the 64-bit versions and NOT the 32-bit!) Don't automatically assume that you already have the latest drivers because your machine is new.
Run the Program Compatibility troubleshooter, and. carefully. use it to install Riven. See for details, especially 'If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the troubleshooter.' As a first pass, under 'Which version of Windows did this program work on before?'
Select Windows 95 Next. If that doesn't help, start again and select Windows 98 / Windows Me. You can also make compatibility setting changes manually. Click on To change compatibility settings manually, and read through all of the options. Various combinations of options are usually necessary. If you have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise (but not Windows 7 Home Premium), install Riven while running in Windows XP Mode.
See (aka 'What is Windows XP Mode?' ) and for details. To use Windows XP Mode, you must turn on hardware virtualization in your PC's BIOS. Note the Sample instructions for your PC at the bottom of the page. With Windows 7 Home Premium, you can download and install Windows Virtual PC. However, Windows XP Mode wont' work. You just get a pop-up message saying it's not supported on your version of Windows.
So, you have to install a valid copy of Windows XP yourself on Virtual PC. I decided to try and install Windows 95 on it instead since the game would run much better with it, but I couldn't get it to work. A lot of forums recommended Sun VirtualBox instead, which I'm currently experimenting with but still having some problems getting Windows 95 on. I just borrowed a copy of XP Professional that I'm going to try if it doesn't work out. If not, my boyfriend recommends Daemon Tools or something like that; apparently he got some soccer game to run on it once. Wow, this is turning out to be quite the process!

I do have the winXP professional also. Used to be a network engineer for a small high school in my working years. I got so enthused about riven now and i have all the disks on the hard drive so i don't have to switch anymore so that is a good think.
I am trying to find out if the tenth anniversary edition has the original myst and the next one after riven. And i want the others after that.
I think there are 5 in all. I like riven because it makes me think and i don't have to get all excited about combat or stuff like that.
The 10th Anniversary Edition will get you a couple more games, yes. I'm not sure if it has the original Myst or the Masterpiece Edition, though. I have both (Masterpiece came with the Myst Trilogy, but I've had the original since it first came out!). I think there are five Myst games, but there's also Uru which is sort of a part of it. If you look up Myst, they tend to include it in the chronology, making it more like six games. But I don't really know, because I can't get Riven installed! I'm glad to hear you've got it working now, though.
I finally got Windows 95 installed on VirtualBox, and as it was starting up for its first use, it hit an error and doesn't work at all now. It just says the disk is invalid and to replace it. I can't even get a DOS screen back. Well, I might just have to try again with XP Professional.

If you can get it to work in XP mode, then I guess I should just give up on Windows 95. I'll try again tonight after work.
