Problems With AGS 2.61 with Win 95.

[Mosk]

I'd like to tell you that I've downloaded AGS 2.61 (the newest one)
but I have a problem: this new AGS doesn't work in Microsoft Windows 95.
So I would like to know if there's a newer version of AGS (now I'm working with AGS 2.31), than the one that I'm
using; where can I get it??, and if possible, if there is something to make this new version to work in Win 95.
Another problem, or that could be the same as the other one, is that I can't create a game in windows mode: when I try to do that, the system tells me that I don't have the file DINPUT.DLL, I took it from a pc with win 98, and then i tried the game in windows mode again...
When I tried that, the system tells me that the file DINPUT.DLL isn't associated with another file: KERNEL32.DLL from win 95. again I took this file (KERNEL32) from win 98, and installed it from MS-DOS in the "system" folder from win 95. the problem is that I can't start my pc in win 95, because I changed the file (KERNEL32), in fact, I installed a different version, which is bigger (468 kb) than the old one.. and the pc fails... and win 95 is useless.
To sum up, the problem that I have is that I can't use the new ags for windows and make games in windows mode, in windows 95, and what I want to know if there are some ways of fixing this problem, and if I can work in win 95... I'd like to have win 98, but the pc which I'm working is an old 486... so, is impossible.

Well, I would be very grateful if you could answer me these questions...

PS: Sorry for the spelling mistakes!!!!!

I think it's some other compatibilities issue, as I'm using WIN95 at home, and it seems to be okay (not tested thoroughly thought).

I don't know if there are service packs or something like that for Win95 (that was slightly before my time *g*), but if yes: did you get them?

You should upgrade to at least win98 :o

If you think about it, Windows95 is almost 10 years old.

But anyway, it's an old computer.... It sounds like you need to update DirectX, and the latest Version for win95 is 8.0a, which you could download here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/default.htm

Make sure windows 95 is "up to date" with whatever updates are available, I guess. Try going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ .. I can't even remember if it ever supported windows 95 anymore.

You need to install DirectX, as netmonkey says. AGS won't work without it.

When you say "this new AGS doesn't work in Microsoft Windows 95", what exactly do you mean? In what way doesn't it work? What error message do you get?

ok, I'll try to download Directx :
