recently, i bought abes oddysee on amazon.com as a download. it downloaded fine, but i cant get it to work becuase i have windows 7 and windows 7 wont play 16 bit games.
however, the reviews said there games worked fine, except for one ( but i think he just hates the oddworld inhabitants company).
anyone know how to get it to run???

Go through the setup normally, make sure you select the one below typical install (level files and stuff I think) then when it asks to install directx press yes. It'll do whatever it needs to. Now run it without the disk by double clicking abewin.exe in the game's directory. It'll come up with a message, press continue about 3 times and it will start. Next, turn the game off and run with the disk, again clicking the shortcut and NOT auorun. Now it should play fine.
Ignore the error message when you close it as well, it doesn't do anything.
