my laptop purchased in germany, gaming probs. sony vaio windows vista?
i baught a brand new sony vaio laptop at a px in germany, but i have bot like 8 or so games that were newer and one or so ended up working (oldest one, darel f gates police quest), like even diablo 2, i tried to run it in the 'previous version' of windows or whatever, but why are the old computers way more reliable than the new ones? can i make them work or is my laptop a waste of money, i know it aint a gaming setup , but co mon. in my eyes technology is getting so advanced its by far contradicting itself,.. i mean since we have dish and all that other stuff, my grandma cant hardley change the channel . just they make you think the newer the setup the better, but the newer the setup the more it sucks

You can make older games work by doing a couple of things. You can use DosBox for older DOS games. For games like Diablo 2, I would install XP in a virtual machine using virtualbox with guest additions. Then you can run all the old XP games on the virtual machine.
