Issues and Fixes
Compatibility
Because the game was originally designed for Windows 95/Windows 98, newer operating systems such as Windows 7 and Windows Vista can have trouble running the game correctly. Below is a list of fixes to help run the game in newer operating systems.
Compatibility modes
Setting the game to run in compatibility mode can help fix many issues with launching and playing the game. To do this, right-click the .exe, open Properties and set the game to run in Windows XP SP2 or Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode from the Compatibility tab.
Desktop composition
Some problems can be caused in Windows 7 and Windows Vista by having desktop composition enabled. To turn this off, check the 'Disable desktop composition' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatiblity).
Dialog boxes not opening/unable to save
Running RollerCoaster Tycoon with visual themes enabled can prevent the open/save dialog box from opening. To fix this, check the 'Disable visual themes' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatiblity).
Another save game issue can be caused by not running the game as an Administrator. To fix this, check the 'Run this program as an administrator' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatiblity).
Windows XP patch
If you are using the original CD, make sure to install the Windows XP patch to prevent compatibility issues.
GOG version
If you are still unable to play the game in Windows 7/Windows Vista you may wish to purchase a downloadable version of the Deluxe Edition from GOG. This version is compatible with both operating systems and works with Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit. Some users still experience a random full system crash with this version on Windows 7.
