In reply to Jane Saunders. Download a virtual machine. This will allow you to emulate an older computer (OS) without having to buy one. I would recommend using UTM and running their already made Windows XP build. Hope this helps.

Mine wont run because it wont run on a 64-bit. Been troubleshooting but kinda stuck. I’m glad I’m not the only one or else I’d feel like a total idiot 😀

I also can not get this program to work after mounting. It keeps saying I cannot run this program on my pc. I have a windows 10. Is there anything I can change or attempt or another version to try?

In reply to Bob. Yeah im on a windows computer and its not working when i click on Setup.exe aswell, the funny thing is i downloaded oregon trial 2 from this website which released 2 years before 3D one we are trying to download and it working fine, ive done everything i can to make it work but it could just be the program thats used for the setup and keep in mind the game is like 23 years old.

In reply to Bob.

I got this same error after mounting to a virtual drive. This is by far the best version of Oregon Trail and I would love to be able to play it again if anyone can help. I have the 3 CDs, I have tried what was reccomended on this site as well as what was reccomended on a few youtube videos about trying to run old games. I have a laptop that I kept in order to play these games but apparently it is dead (though I may just have the wrong power cord), I am trying to figure out how I can trust to buy a vintage computer / laptop in order to play this again, if anyone has any suggestions on:

1. How to run this game on Windows 7 (with or without the disks)
2. Where to find a computer to buy that I can trust will run this (ideally a laptop as I already have a desktop on my desk).
3. If the cord fits the plug to my laptop (I found 3 and gave each one 24 hours to try to charge the computer) and it flashes the blue battery light does that mean my laptop is toast or I just need to purchase the correct replacement cord (and if this is the case how do I find the exact right cord).

Thank you!

Cant get this to work. After mounting, I tried to run setup.exe and I got a message “This app cant run on your PC, To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher”
I used the inbuilt windows 10 mounting feature not a 3rd party app, could this be the problem?

There is no way to get this working on PCEM is there? even with the physical disc I own I’m getting told I’m preforming an illegal Action or some nonsense….

Please help I’d really like to play this version of the game in some way. It brings back a lot of fond memories and it’s sad that there is no way to actually play this on modern hardware and apparently even on virtual machines or emulators like PCEM…

Is there a 64-bit version?
