There is a game TankTics relased in 1999, which runs on win 95 and 98 OS with DirectX 6.0 support.

I can't run this game in my new Windows 7 (64 bit) home premium edition.

Can any one help me to get the workaround to run this application.

I tried the compatibility option but no luck. am getting "Incorrect version of Directx!" err

Thanks in advance.

install win 95 in a virtual machine and then install dx6 in it and then play ur games
:lol:

Yes, I did install Win98 using Sun Virtual Box. Still No luck... Same "Incorrect version of Directx!" err Coming

if that is a dos based game then you can try a DOS emulator

It is not DOS based game. If any one want to try this game, please download from the following URL .
