Hi,

I personally have a big collection of old original games that also don't run on windows 10, most of the solutions I generally find is downloading a official patch or a no cd/dvd fix because of that problem and the non-existence of secru-rom which became a bigger problem on windows 10.

I have a original copy of Serious Sam 2 that refuses to until I have patched and no cd fixed it.

Ok now when i try to download the DirectX 8.0A it tells me that couldn't download or find dsetup.dll (idk how to translate it to English perfectly cuz im using Polish language.) and the GL setup tells me that i need win 95 or 98.

Could you tell me which files i should download, because I've never did things like it.

DirectX 8.0A is to old for Windows 10.

Very odd error that you are getting. I just tried the files for myself and didn't get any errors. I will try find my copy of the game and see what I get.
