Running older games on newer pc

[Dustin_Broke]

I noticed I been having this problem when trying to play older games like Quake or Turok Dinosaur Huner etc but it seems like it won't even install because my Windows is Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Is there a way to run these older games on Windows 7 Home 64 bit systems?

Ok I tried a different game basicly Turok 2 and that gives the same error message.
I thought I can finaly play these older games but I' am sure having problems. 🙁
Basicly the game thinks my system doesn't have Direct3D when it does have it.

Where are you planning to buy the game from again? GOG?

If so, many old games for sale on GOG have been updated to work with newer operating systems. You may be going through all this effort for nothing...
