How can I make Skip98 work on a laptop with Windows 7?
Posted On: June 10, 2023

My Mother in law was playing to an old freeware Skip-bo game on her Windows XP computer, it's called Skip98. You could still find it by goggling it, but the original site is down.


She bought a new Laptop, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I cannot get this old game working on it, I get corrupted graphics.


I check this question, but she has Home Premium version, so Microsoft state that :.


You are not eligible to download.


Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows.


7 Professional, Enterprise, or.


Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To.


upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime.


Upgrade.


And she is not interested in upgrading to "get a free game working".


Meanwhile, I found a browser version, by the same programmer, but she likes to play when she doesn't have Internet access (example, at theirs holiday home).


How could I get it to work, or is there any free alternative?


Question from user DavRob60 at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

I'm the author of SkipWE. I created a ZIP file which should allow you to run SkipWE without internet access. Simply download the file from the link below, extract it to your desktop (or elsewhere), then double-click the "SkipWE.exe" file. Hopefully that will work at your mother's holiday home :).
