Windows 8.1 vs. Windows 11
My new all-in-one computer has Windows 11 & I have had a terrible time trying to get Links to load & play. I am considering installing Windows 8.1 on it, (my old computer had 8.1 & did fine). Any suggestions appreciated - Thanks

In what way does it not work? (I asked this the last time you posted too, but you never replied)

The game will not fully load, the screen shows about half the picture & then freezes as it is trying to open.

All-In-One has integrated graphics, correct?
No matter where you go, there you are.

I have an all-in-one pc running Windows 11 with AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and AMD Radeon Graphics, and it runs Links 2003 without a problem.
It has long been identified that Intel CPU plus integrated graphics is challenging for Links. is your CPU Intel?
If it is I wish you luck.

First step is to make sure you installed the game properly from a setup file (as opposed to simply pasting the game files straight from a different computer), and the 1.07 and Nvidia patches, but I think you mentioned in the original post in the other thread that you'd done that. So here are the next few things I would recommend trying (if not having done so already):
-Try launching the game from both the LinksLauncher and the LinksMMIII exe files.
-Try various compatibility settings. Chiefly running the game as administrator, but if that doesnt help, many recommend setting the compatibility mode to Windows 7. Also, the setting: High DPI settings > High DPI scaling override - can be worth a try.
-Try unplugging any connected USB devices and seeing if the game launches then.

Ian - Here are the info specs I have on my computer -11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz, 8 Gb Ram, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. I guess having an Intel processer is not good based on your assessment. Thanks
Re: Windows 8.1 vs. Windows 11
I know very little about computers. I had a computer powered by Intel and through the help of the members on this site I was able to play Links. If I remember I had to use Dgvoodoo. (This was running an earlier version of Windows.)
If it is possible, then the members on this site will try their best to help you.
I do genuinely wish you all the best in getting Links working on your computer.
